I try very hard to remember to be grateful for the little things - TopicsExpress



          

I try very hard to remember to be grateful for the little things and big things alike. That is often a struggle. This week my stress has been high and my heart heavy. I have seen the loss of AT/RT warriors this week, loss of children to other cancers as well as the loss of a 6 month old baby named Cruzito awaiting a heart on the transplant list. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Cruzito, but his mother (Cyra) and grandparents (Paula and Daniel) were one of the few families that we met during our stay at the Ronald McDonald House in Aurora. They always had such a bright outlook on everything, were so selfless and helped us out many times and not for a moment did I doubt that little Cruzito James would one day go home. His passing yesterday was not the going home I had envisioned. My heart breaks for the suffering in the hearts of those that loved him. Today. I am grateful for the time God gave to him and his family. I am grateful that our paths crossed and I got to know another strong and beautiful family. I am grateful for the people that weve met along our journey. I am grateful for being able to be home with my family today. I am grateful that Robbie is getting stronger with each day that passes. I am grateful that I am here to watch Robbie grow and watch his triumphs first hand. I am grateful that I get to be the mother of two amazing and beautiful souls. I am grateful for our families and their being here for us without hesitation. I am grateful that we get to spend another holiday together as a whole. I am grateful for all of you and your prayers for Robbie and our family. I am grateful for more things than I could ever sit down and put to paper. My heart swells with gratitude more often than it sinks with despair these days, and for that, I am grateful as well. I hope you all have a beautiful day and can find even one thing to be thankful/grateful for not just today, but every day. My prayers are with those that have an empty space in their hearts and at their tables today and everyday.
