Live for today for tomorrow is never promised..

About a year ago I stumbled across a blog page which was written by parents who were watching their beautiful little toddler Layla Grace Marsh; laylagrace.org fight an outrageous battle with a rare form of childhood cancer called Neuroblastoma. I followed this blog daily and prayed harder then I have ever prayed, pleading with God to please heal this beautiful little girl. I will never forget the day that I read that the sweet the sweet angel "had earned her angel wings". I cried so hard that night, for a child I had never known, but because I knew how heartbreaking this must have been as a mommy, to endure such pain. I cried because I too at a young age had to watch one of my own friends fight every minute of every day for two long years for his own young and innocent life. I have mentioned before that when I was in high school I watched a very close friend of mine battle Leukemia. It was the most horrible thing I have ever had to watch someone endure and it really made me check myself as far as what really matters in my own life.

Recently, from Layla's foundation I came across the story of another little boy named Ronan Thompsan aka "Rockstar Ronan"; rockstarronan.com who is fighting this same awful battle! His mom blogs daily about Ronan's journey and I love reading her blogs because she is so honest and raw about everything that her precious 3 year old son should NEVER have to endure. Cancer is affecting more children today then it ever has!! As a mother of two I read Maya's blog realizing how precious each day is and to never take one minute for granted. Cancer is the most ugly, awful, fucked up disease.. and I pray that a cure is found soon (not just for childhood cancer but for all cancers). I ask you today as you read this post to please take a minute to please pray for Ronan and all of the beautiful souls out there who are fighting this horrific disease. Today I pray for the Thompson family and all of the mommies and daddies who are watching their own children  fight this battle.

With that being said I am going to hug my babies extra tight today because life is too short and I am asking you to do the same..
