forever changed

My life changed today.
Again.
I typically like to post things on this blog that are silly & entertaining. Not today. There are more serious matters I need to address at this time.

There have been a few defining days in my life when I could actually feel myself change. All the sudden the things that seemed important, weren't. Future goals and ambitions were altered. New goals were established. My perspective was widened, yet more accurate than before. Examples of this include the day my Dad died, the day one of my best friends lost her child, and today. Mitch & I having been crying our eyes out over this family's struggle. We don't know this family personally, but I've learned that part doesn't matter.





If you can help, please do.

Katie. I watched Austin's videos and also a girl named Taylor Warren (on youtube) who has something similar. I also found myself in tears...It is lifechanging...mostly for them but for me too.

Watching that little boy makes you look long and hard at your life and how you live it. You do have such a generous heart.
