Wading into the deep end again

I haven't had a *deep* or philospohical post in quite a while...was thinking that yesterday....so after all those sunny flower pictures yesterday, I read this blog post this morning...

This sweet little boy is fighting. His father's pain, panic and fear is palpable. My heart just breaks for them. I have pulled my hair out and nashed my teeth over my children and their struggles, but their struggles have never been life or death. Puts things into perspective pretty quickly. I have never had to sit and watch my baby sturggle and cry out in pain that I can not fix. So today - every time I may feel a little frustrated by my kids, I am going to consciously stop myself, praise God and give thanks for thier physical health and our happiness, and say a prayer for Jaymun and his family.

Oh my gosh....I can't imagine what that family is going through. I teared up reading the latest entries.
