Life....

You always hear people say that life is short and you never know what tomorrow will bring or if tomorrow will even happen.
Some things have happened recently that have really made me sit back and realize I do not need to sweat the small stuff. I don't need to get frustrated with Kylee so fast. She is only 6. I need to enjoy my time with her. I need to be patient with her. I need to show her unconditional love. I am not guaranteed another day. I need to make the most out of this day.

Two ladies in our department at work have recently been diagnosed with cancer. One with breast cancer...she has 6 kids. The other just happened over the weekend and that one really hit home with me. She went into the ER with severe abdominal pain. She found out she has colon cancer that has spread. She had surgery yesterday and had her colon and spleen removed. The cancer had spread to her spleen and either her liver or her lung. She has a SOFTBALL size tumor on her liver. Her cancer is in Stage 4. She is only 28 or 29 and has 3 small kids ages 6, 4, and 2. I cannot imagine what her family is going through.

I am going to remind myself every day how thankful I am for my health, my family, my friends, and my wonderful Lord and Savior. It is sad that it takes something like this to open your eyes sometimes.
