Love is all that matters after all...

Yesterday, a 4 month old little girl was buried by her parents. She was just 2 months older than my Leilah. I didn't know her or her family, but her story touched me deeply. She was a healthy little girl, who just stopped breathing...
I can't imagine what my life would be like without my Devin and my Leilah... 
Or without Kailynn...
So... I want to take 5 minutes out of my day to stop and be thankful. For my wonderful fiancé, who loves all of my flaws, understands me completely, and will forever be here for me when I need a rock. For my crazy children, who drive me insane, but also teach me everyday the meaning of love and never fail to make me laugh. For my family and friends. And for everything that we have. 

It makes you realize how the things that seem so big, are really unimportant. We get so lost in our day to day lives that we never take a moment to sit back and take it all in. There is a song by Carrie Underwood called "So Small" that sums this up completely...

"Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And when you figure out 
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small."

I may still get caught up in my life, but I promise that I am going to make a conscious effort to enjoy life, and be thankful each day...
