A Moment's Notice

William is taking a small hiatus from the blog only for the moment to let his gastric juices settle down after all of his excitement and to let me jot down some thoughts. No worries the master blogger will return in all of his glory to resume his post.

We have all had our little dramas and headaches to deal with on a day to day basis but nontheless something happens when you are engulfed in your first grade drama to bring you back to reality. Our friends in Houston are dealing with a little more hurricane driven drama right now that has still left them without electricity but it is going to be restored soon. We are also hopeful their house in Sea Isle will be in reasonably good order on Wednesday when they return to Galveston to assess the damage. Regardless of what we face on a day to day basis minor or major drama, all of these things become insignificant when faced with a grieving family.

I had two children that I came in contact with on Friday that made me want to come home and hug the boys. I will spare you the details but both children were doing very innocent and normal things like riding their bike and sitting with their family when something happened that instantly changed everything. The miracle is that one of the children, which is incidently about Christopher's age, survived and so far appears very lucky with respect to his injury. The other child and family was not so fortunate and my heart just broke for them. I can't even imagine nor would I want to even fathom losing one of my children. William and I thank God every day for our boys and we are so thankful to have them here with us, to treasure each and every day that we afforded. Life is so precious. Hug your children!
