What Matters Most

Today was not a day for pretty sunsets or whimsical fun. A dear friend is preparing tonight to take her little boy, who is just a little older than mine, to the hospital for cancer surgery in the morning. The prognosis is excellent, but it is every parent's worst fear.

So as I lie next to these two beautiful children of mine as they sleep side-by-side, I am grateful for their love and for the privilege of being their mommy. They are what matters most.
