they are going to say. The other day my 4 year old grand daughter was running into the kitchen from the den and stopped quickly and looked at me with those beautiful dk brown eyes and whispered"I Love You". No amount of money could have bought that moment. And when one of my sons says "you are a great Mom and I can talk to you about anything".He is 34 and we are very close. He has a 6 year old son with cancer and just watching him play with his sisters makes me happy.I could go on and on. I am so blessed!!!His youngest daughter had heart surgery at age 6 months and she too is doing well!!! Knowing they are happy is being happy!!!

You crossed my mind when I added losing a child, as you always do. You’re always in my thoughts and prayers. So appreciate you reading and commenting.

Amen and amen! Beautiful post, Kate. It is sometimes hard to find bliss in our lives. Those little things seem really…little. But sometimes it's the little things that slowly bring us back from the depths. We don't necessarily find it in the monumental.
