Hug Your Children

Today I sit here during a quiet moment( which is rare at my house) and just cry. Okay, maybe it's a hormone thing or a mom thing.
 Today I found out a girl I went to college with died last night. She was only 33 years old. She leaves behind a 7 year old little girl. She was on her second battle in three years for cervical cancer. All I can think about is her little girl. She watched her mom in a huge battle with this disease and now she is not here anymore. I could not imagine my daughter going through this. 
Then I think of my first cousin who is in the hospital now with a brain aneurism. She has been in the hospital over 15 days waiting for her brain spasms to come down so they can do surgery. She also has a little boy. He has had to miss Christmas, New Years, and just his break from school with his mom. 
As a mom, you always want to be there for your children. As my mom always told me, your job is to give them wings to fly. That is always what my parents wanted for us. Yet some children are forced to get their wings way too early in life. So hug your children tonight, and that mess in the living floor will just have to wait. ( or in my house the mess in the bedroom, living room, playroom, etc)
