Fragile
Last night we were reminded just how fragile life is. One of Carter's crib mates a sweet little boy named Colt passed away. He gave a tough fight and after seven months his journey here ended. Trav and I both took the news pretty hard. We sat there looking at Carter and just cried we couldn't believe it. It most definitely put things into perspective for me. There are times during the day that I am so exhausted, sick of lugging around all his equipment, loosing faith on the whole bottle feeding thing, and wanting to be free to take him where ever when ever, and this was a huge reminder of the absolute miracle that Carter is. I already know this and thank my Heavenly Father daily for him, but it just reminded me that it could be worse so so much worse. Please say a prayer for his sweet family I can't imagine the devastation they are feeling.
