Thankful Thursday

 Today as I was reading through some blogs I came across one that touched my heart. I have been keeping up with a blog about a woman who lost her four month old little girl Maddie. Her strength during this hard time in her life is a testament to her faith in God. She is an amazing woman. Today she asked for all parents to take their children to the park and play with them in honor of Maddie. Today was a rough day for me because it was my Mema's birthday. Tanner and I visited her and sent a balloon up to heaven for her. After some tears and visiting my Pampa, I decided a day at the park was exactly what I needed to lift my spirits. Morgan and I took Tanner to the park and played on the swings, teeter-totter, and sand in honor of Maddie and Mema. I thought about them the whole time and realized how precious each moment is with my little man. We said a little prayer for Maddie and her mommy. Maddie's story has made me a better mom and wife and shown me that every single second (even the not so fun ones) with Tanner is a miracle. I am so thankful for everyday I have with family and friends and promise to never take these moments for granted.
