hug them tight
I am going to try to blog more in 2010. I promise. I’m inspired by other photographers who use their blogs like they should be used, to document their life with photos and narrations. I’m going to do that….
I promise not to worry about the quality of the photo..or if the lighting is “just right”. I promise to capture more photos of my kids and blog them.
On that note we happened to hear a story of a young 7 year old girl from our church named Charlotte. She is in a coma and her little 7 year old body is being put through things we can’t imagine as they try to save her life and decide how to best treat her. As I sat in church this morning holding my daughter who will soon be six I thought what an unbelieveable thing to have to go through as a parent. I can’t imagine anything more devastating than to watch your child suffer and not have the means to “fix it”. Being a nurse I know what Charlotte’s body is going through and the angst her parents must feel being at her bedside. I hugged my daughter a little tighter. I told her I loved her…I thanked God for my kids and I prayed for Charlotte with the rest of my church family. If you have a moment today, hug your kids and tell them you love them and say a prayer for Charlotte. Nothing in this life is a guarentee…..take nothing forgranted.
Blessings.

“Hug Your Kids” - great advice. I’ll pray for Charlotte, her family and her medical staff. I started Global Hug Your Kids Day in 2008. We lost our son Mark suddenly to brain cancer in 1998. He was 8 1/2 years old. Maybe you’d like to have an event in YOUR town for the holiday in 2010. It’ll be Monday, July 19. Contact me via http://www.hugyourkidstoday.com or for more info. I’m hoping to get families all over the US / world? to have events in honor of their wonderful children on that day.
