It IS sad, and I wouldn't ever wish for my kids to get sick in case something bad happened, but the cuddles you get when they are sick are so precious :-)
I needed a good cry. Thanks ;) Although I have never experienced the loss of a child, I know I would be feeling the SAME way. Just remember, all the wrongs in this life will be "made right" in the end. Maybe you should adopt a little girl who needs a good mommy and daddy??
The secret to being miserable is having the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.
-George Bernard Shaw
1.)"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived. "
2.)"The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache."
