This last week has been hectic. We had Grams and Pops in town for the weekend. Taytum had a basketball tournament and the everyday ins and outs. My house is a mess, and I feel like I spend a lot more time in my car then I am use too. Which keeps breaking down on me in the school parking lot. Thank you to the guy who helped me out.
All of this seems absolutly meaningless since I heard about Layla Grace Marsh. I have been following this babies story for over a week now. I have looked at her pictures and cryed. I have celebrated the fact that she pooped and kept down juice. All this for a child I have never met. A child who has Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. This little 2 year old is dying. Her parents have been by her side for weeks. Not expected to make it passed 2 weeks she is now on 3. I read the story and it broke my heart. I wanted to go and hold her. I want the lord to take her pain away. I want to know how someone so little and innocent can suffer so much pain. I want her family to know that I pray for her to be healed. I want to ask God to show me miracles can happen. That he alone is able to heal. Layla has made me realize that life is short and precious. That it can be gone in a second. Right now is all we really have. I hold my children a little tighter and longer. I dont sweat the small stuff so much. As long as I think about Layla and how her mother wishes for her to be at her feet again making laundary and unloading the dishwasher a harder task then it should be. I pray for the streghth for the family and her parents. I can not imagine how hard it is to sit and watch you child die and not be able to do anything about it. Just try their best to keep her comfortable. I am amazed at the journey Layla has had and how in her photos she still smiles so brightly. She is an angel on earth sent here to remind us to Love. I am so blessed to have healthy children. I know that now. If you want to follow Layla's journey you can at LaylaGrace.org. It will tear at your heart strings. It will make you cry. It will remind you to love your family and prayer really makes a difference. I know that God will not heal her the way we want. But over 40 thousand people have been praying as hard as they can for her. Which may have been the Lord master plan for Layla. So tonight before you go to bed pray for Layla and her family. Pray for all the sick kids in the world. Hold you children tight. Tell them you love them and spend as much time with them as possible. Layla Grace thank you for being a messenger of God.
