Hug them, even if they try to squirm away. Kiss them, even if they don't want you to. Love them, even if they are misbehaving. I know I will. Today Dylan's impish antics will be a little less exasperating. Today Logan's never-ending desire to nurse will feel a little less confining. Because today I've been reminded of just how suddenly and cruelly our children can be taken away from us.
Yesterday afternoon Kevin's cousin and his wife lost their little girl, Faith. She was only two and half months old. In fact her due date was just two days after Logan's, although she was born almost a month earlier than him due to severe heart problems. Against incredible odds, Faith seemed to be triumphing over her medical challenges. Just 4 pounds at birth, she had a fighting spirit and a strong will to live. But yesterday her little heart just gave out. I don't know all the details, but I know with a mother's certainty that her family's hearts are broken and their grief knows no bounds.
So hug, hold, kiss and love your kids a little extra today for them. And if you pray, please keep them in your prayers.
