Love for Ruby

I have been meaning to write a post dedicated to the Taylor's ever since I read Ruby's blog. About 2 weeks ago I was reading down the list of blogs and when I got to Lauren's she had said to read this blog so I did, Brody was napping, I was bored and had nothing else to do. I scrolled down to read the post she had mentioned called 'Perspective', I started reading and I seriously couldn't finish reading it because I was crying so hard! Before i know 2 hours has gone by and I have read almost the whole blog and now Brody is awake. I walk into his room, tears in my eyes and I smile so grateful that he is here, in our lives, the biggest joy of my life! It said so many things that just felt like a stab in the heart, I felt like I was that mom that she is talking about, the one who hates hearing a crying baby to early in the morning, unsatisfied with her weight and hair, clothes, doing laundry and cleaning over and over again!. What a slap in the face it was to hear her name off all these things that she used to be annoyed with that I find myself annoyed with quite often and then to have her wish they would come back, because life was wonderful then and she just didn't know it! The whole time I just keep thinking I cant believe I have taken this for granted, I haven't appreciated it like I should.
Ever since I have read her blog I breathe in every little moment of Brody and I am so grateful that I have this wonderful sweet little boy. I have been praying for the Taylor's and my heart goes out to them for all the pain their family is going through, I cant even imagine. I feel like I owe them so much for helping me to open my eyes and enjoy everything about my life because my stupid little problems are nothing compared to some. I encourage all of you to read the Taylor's blog. aniandmatttaylor.blogspot.com . Also on there there is information about auctions and fundraisers for little Ruby and her parents. Keep them in your prayers as well. I am so grateful for eternal families and for our heavenly father. To think that they had lost their little girl but they will see her again, be with her again. Its amazing. :)
