One of my biggest fears has always been that I will die before I have time to completely raise my daughter. I want to be here…with her. Needless to say, my heart is crying for this family. It is a “must read” and be prepared with a tissue. Then take a moment to hold your family tighter as you are filled with thankfulness for your own life…with them.

Live as if you’ll die today.

They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Those roses are beautiful! 🙂 Could you come by and make a comment on my post? I'm trying to win $100 from Cozi. 🙂 Thank you so much!
That is a scary fear.. Thank you for such a nice post.
Thanks for the link. Makes you sit back and realize what is important. Have a great day.
That's something I worry about also. I have a 15 and a 4 year old and I pray that I will always be around for them.
Lie is so precious isn't it? Such a sad story, but an important lesson.
Beautiful roses! Thanks for stopping by my site. Please feel free to stop by anytime, I'll leave the light on for you!
Great post! I've never visited your blog till now and boy am I glad I did! First off great intro letter and great blog too! I've definitely jumped on as a follow…I'm in the "need to know" now!
P.SW. I'm also hiGhjaCkinG your button!
I've almost raised all my children. The second youngest is 18 and the youngest is 14. I hope to live long enough to see them all raised. I'm hoping to see my adult daughter self-sufficient before I go. She still has no job and it worries me what will happen to her if I'm not here to supp;ort her.
As hard and heartbreaking as it was to read thank you for helping me with my perspective.
Ever since their mother and I have been divorced, my children have been estranged from me (fifteen years to date). I hope we can reconcile before I pass on as then it is too late. Having both parents die too soon and too quickly (at differeent times), I am glad that they knew I loved them. I'm glad the Murray family seems to be strong and united.
oh boy…that was a hard one…but all good lessons usually are…..beautiful….
Yes…..I cried. That too is a great fear of mine…leaving the kids before they're "done".
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
This is so heartbreaking. I don't even have kids yet and this is still a fear. It really makes you realize what's important in life.
