Gratitude

So many things I'm feeling grateful for today, my children and grandchild being the top of the list. Grateful to have them in my life. Grateful they're alive and healthy and noisy and annoying and crazy and spectacular. There aren't words for what I felt watching the news coming out of Connecticut. Heartbreak. Horror. Despair. Sorrow. Such inadequate words. But above all, an increased devotion to loving my children while I have the chance. Life is fragile. We must remember to cherish every drop of it we have.
