Life is so short....

So Monday night I get a phone call from one of my sister in laws telling me that my sweet little nephew Cayden had passed away from complications of RSV. Let me tell you I almost thought I was going to fall apart. Cayden was a month older than my baby. The sweet little boy had been a fighter from the beginning. He was born 7 weeks premature and had battle with RSV for the last month or so. So I went to the hospital to try to help my sister and brother in law, but what do you say. I got there right as they were leaving to go to the mortuary. I have to tell you that it was one of the most heart wrenching moments in my life. I watch this poor sweet mother hold her little boy and just cry. Thankfully her bishop was there and about 12 other people to help their little family. I just have to tell you I just lost it. I couldn't even imagine loosing any of my children, I don't think there is any worse pain that you could experience. Anyway the bishop and my other brother in law gave both of them a blessing of love & comfort that their little angel was safe and happy. They were both so strong, I'm sure that the shock was still going on, but I just admire them both.
So needless to say that night I held my kids just a little tighter and told them how much I love them and how proud we are of them and who they are becoming. I slept with my baby that night, just holding him and being so grateful for my most precious 5 little blessings. Just remember that life is so short, tell everyone in your life how much they mean to you, you never know when your last day on this earth may be!
