Grateful....

I just got home from taking the kids to school...as I was driving home I remembered last year at this time we were at the hospital with Rylie following her liver transplant, and my boys didn't have their mom to drop them off to school...my heart was filled with gratitude that I am here with my family doing the simple things in life like taking my kiddos to school. It was a good reminder to me...last year at this time I remember thinking I wasn't going to take any of those simple things for granted. It's amazing how I forget though...so today was a good reminder for me to be grateful for the simple little moments we have with our families:)

It's so easy to take things for granted, we all do it. Somehow, if we slow down we can find so much to be grateful for.

I remember that time too Amy...we were all praying everyday for a miraculous recovery!

Prayers are answered...glad you were able to take the kids AND have time to reflect!!
