So Fleeting
She was so young. Her three children have all lost a mother today. Breast cancer robbed them of a future together...baseball games, first days of school, a Bar Mitzvah only months away...
I stop and look at my two boys and hold them extra close. Suddenly the very things that bothered me only moments earlier have all faded away. I am so lucky. I hug them for a very long time. My heart goes out to the children and husband of an unbelievably amazing woman who left this world far too soon.
I urge you to take a moment to look around you and appreciate everything that you have to be thankful for.
I kiss the boys and sigh.
