When it comes to life, a lot of people take it for granted and do not cherish the moments of everyday. You never know how long you will have to live. Even for our smallest of treasures, our children, we really never know how long we will have with them. Even when they are young, they are sometimes taken away from us.

I am a step father and though I have not had the unbearable experience of losing a child, I have to see how other people go through this unfathomable experience. Though I cannot know what they are going through it breaks my heart every time and I hope I never get used to that kind of pain; even if its just knowing what had just happened to someone I do not know. Be with the ones you love and cherish each moment you have with them. You never really know how long or how short of a time you will have.
