Recently, I've been reeling over how much I take my life for granted. Even the little things. I came across a blog about a little boy, his name is Tripp Roth. He was born with a rare skin disease and has suffered his whole life with pain and agony. He opened my eyes to see how amazing my life truly is. That I should get down on my knees everyday and thank god for what I've been given. I hold Liam a little tighter, sing to him a little longer and count my blessing. Liam IS such a blessing in mine and Erics lives. We strive to be the best parents possible for him. I often wonder how I got so lucky. He is RARELY, if ever fussy. He is totally content with sitting by himself and playing with his toys. I get my laundry done, my house is always clean and I still have time to watch my favorite shows. He sleeps all night from 8pm to 8 am. How did I get so lucky, when there are so many babies and children that suffer. My life is far from perfect but what defines perfect? No amount of money can heal suffering. So many people, including myself are often blinded by materialism. The important things in life are over looked. Life is about family and those closest to us. Be happy for what you have because someone, somewhere wasn't as lucky.
