Hold them a little tighter!!
I spent this morning helping to take care of a bunch of little children, followed by attending a funeral. My friend's 18 month old daughter passed away on Friday, and her funeral was this morning. She had severe health problems and so they knew she wouldn't have a full life, but it was still a sad event. As I sat in the funeral I couldn't help but think how much I wanted to come home and hug my children. To hold onto them a little tighter as you never know what life will hold. So, hug your children tonight. Be thankful that they are there as a part of your life.

How awful to have to lose a child. I am holding mine a little tighter, just thinking about it!
It would be awful. I've had two good friends and two sister-in-laws that have buried children, and yet I can't really even come close to knowing what they go through.
No matter how old I get, the thought that I might outlive either of my children or even JW is a very sad one. Sometimes I enjoy a weekend home alone but I think that is only because I know it's a temporary thing.
