So the last few weeks have been hard for me. We have been having to deal with alot of tragic losses at work lately and also having alot of close friends having alot of family drama. As I have had the distinct honor of trying to help my patients deal with the grieving process and loss of their baby that has made me realize how much I take my girls for granted. I think day after day life seems tough and busy and often I forget how truly blessed I have been. My girls are hysterical. They are not perfect by no means, they are as sassy as they come, but they make me laugh and they bring so much meaning to my life. They have taught me so much already. I am especially grateful for my sweet and extremely sexy husband. He often goes unrecognized for all of the amazing things he does. He seriously works 15-17 hours work days and yet as soon as he gets off he just wants to be with his girls. I have never met a man who is more in love with his daughters. For that I am so grateful, because sadly I am learning that men like him are hard to come by. He has the strongest testimony of anyone I know and I rely on him in ways he will never even know. I am so lucky he is mine:) Times are so crappy right now, but thankfully it has forced not only myself but I am sure many of you to be grateful for the small things, and realize that family is the most precious thing we will ever have. I hope I never take that for granted again.

Love and Gratitude.....you don't need much else. Well, occasionally chocolate, but I digress.
Hey!
We have a foundation that makes and supplies gowns and quilts for babies that pass/stillborn...call me!
Very well said, Lex! Sorry to hear there is so much going on. You have a great perspective. Who couldn't be grateful with those little sweethearts! Love Jocelyn's fish face.
I agree totally. Times are crappy but we are lucky to have jobs and family that loves us. I think 2008 has changes our lives forever. Hopefully this year is better :) I miss you it was so good to see you all in Dec.
I am so sorry Lex. I love this post it was very well said.
I'm hugging you through the computer right now....I wish I could be there to give you a real one. Last week when we were talking and you said that I am a strong woman, well I've been thinking about it all week and I have to disagree! You are the strong one. You are so amazing!!! You give me strenght.
Also I think it's just as important not to take yourself for granted either (not that you do) I'm just saying that as much as you need your family... they need you! Your family is so blessed to have you as the most amazing Mom and wonderful wife. You do so much for everyone...I hope you know how much we all love you! (some people just show it diff than others :)) It makes me so happy to see those beautiful smiling girls too!!!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL.
Your girls are too cute! I love the little pose... so sorry work has been stressful, but I enjoyed reading your post, it does make me feel like I need to be grateful for all I have! Love ya
