Usually I think we get so caught up on the stress of keeping the house clean, making dinner, stresses with work, and all of those kind of things that we forget about all the little things that are even more important then those seemingly important tasks. I have been very humbled by this. I hate that it has to take something so tragic to make you realign your priorities. I have found myself making a conscience effort not to yell at my kids just because I'm frustrated (which I do all too much!) I cannot imagine the heartbreak this family is going through, but they are in our constant prayers. And Patrick and I are hugging our sweet boys a little tighter, and thanking Heavenly Father a little more for them. And the blessing we have of the knowledge of an Eternal Family is suddenly a little more meaningful.

Oh no thats terrible. I do hope that family feels comfort that would be so hard. I think I will cuddle my little one and my Sean just a little longer tonight! Thanks for that post its always nice to be reminded of the important things sometimes I wish it didn't take such a tragedy (at least for me) to do so!!! Love ya!
That is so sad. We've had a number of friends lately going through tragedy & it does remind you of the little blessings that run around & make you crazy each day... we'd be more crazy without them right?
How's Patrick doing? Is his co-worker going to be ok?
I found you!!! I'm so sorry to hear of this sad turn of events. It is sad that it sometimes takes a tragedy to remind you of what's important.
