Sigh
I try to keep my blog upbeat, but right now I am so down.
Jack told me on the way to the gym today that a little boy in his class left early because his mom has cancer and they did not expect her to live through the night. Teacher said their homework tonight was to make a list of nice things the class could do for this little boy. What is more heartbreaking is that the Dad is out of the picture, and this sweet little third grader doesn’t even know who he will live with.
I silently cried all through my yoga class, and burst into tears when Jack told the lady at the front desk that his mom was sad because his friend’s mom was gonna die. Fanning my face with open hands, exclaiming no fair.
God, if you can hear me, please wrap that child up in a warm blanket of love and protection. Please let him find a safe home to live, and help him to heal.

This is so sad. I don’t even know what to say. It really makes me feel thankful for health and nothing to even complain about…

That is so sad. I agree, it’s not fair. I pray that little boy is placed in a home that will love and protect him and help him through his grief. Sometimes life stinks…
