After having a bad day on Friday. I sat down to catch up on some blogs. What I read just hit me like a ton of bricks, and frankly I needed it!
Recently on two blogs I read requests for support have gone out to mothers who's children are dealing with cancer. Small children suffering, mothers hearts aching. If you want to read about it you can here click on the names ...

Just reading this truly humbled me. Especially Jen's because the end is near. I love scrapbooking so I was looking at her beautiful pages when I came across her sons story and it wasn't just reading about her sons cancer diagnosis, but that it is now terminal situation. He was life flighted the hospital this weekend and is near the end. I was just sick. Sick for someone I don't even know, someone I may never know. The other story is very similar but so far the outcome with likely be different. This child will likely live, I will be praying for that. I am so lucky. I have four healthy children. I do not yet know the ache it feels to watch the person you love so much dying. I don't want to know. I have had a pit in my stomach all weekend. I am determined to be more patient, and to appreciate all the little moments. Life is fragile. Life is hard. It really helps me understand why you can love someone so much it hurts... today it hurts! My prayers go out to all those who are suffering!

Wow - I just finished reading these sites - I have to admit, I didn't want to because ever since my mom had cancer I tend to run the opposite direction when I hear someone has it (not the most brave way to deal - I know). I had tears for the family of the boy that passed away. I will definitely be praying for them and the other two families.
what a great post, isn't that how life goes, when you think oyu have it bad, you meet others who have it alot worse. i too read the other blogs you linked too, and my heart goes out to them as well! thanks for posting that so i can update my prayer requests.
There are no words. My heart aches for these children and their families. I know that death is a part of life but it seems unfathomable to watch your child pass away. I am inspired by the strength and pained by the grief and suffering. Thank you for reminding me to be grateful!
I cannot even imagine what these families are going through. It makes me realize how what we think is important in this life really isn't. It is our family and the love and bonds we share that are.
