52 Blessings: INPO (3)

I know I'm really far behind with the 52 Blessings (like 4 weeks behind). But this girl inspired me to be better. And this post brought me to my knees in thanks for the blessing that I have in this life. Thank you for reminding me who I am & what I want to be.
Recently, I've been reminded how fragile life is. My good friend lost her mother just this past week. Today is the funeral & more than anything, I wish that I could be there with her to help bare some of the burden. What do we have if we don't have each other?
It has made me reflect on my own good mother. She is a gift for heaven to many people, but especially to her children & especially to me.

Love the layout and what a great blessing. The more I experience motherhood the more grateful I am for all that my Mom did.

Wish you were here.
