Unimaginable

I was called by a friend last night who I hadn't talked to in a long time. This is someone who I worked with, a fellow miscarriage survivor who went on to have twins. She has since moved a few hours away, so it was nice to catch up.

But then, she told me something that absolutely broke my heart into pieces. Pieces. Her friend (who I met once) who was also a mother of twins, just unexpectedly and tragically lost one of the boys at 18 mo. The cause is suspected meningitis. I can't get this out of my head and the story certainly has me hugging my babies a little tighter today. I can't get the image of what they found that morning out of my head. I keep picturing myself or Steve being in that situation and how I would handle it or even manage to go on after something like that.

When I complain of how hard it is to take care of my little ones, or how much they are getting on my nerves, I will think of this story and remember how truly blessed I am.
