Go to this blog and read the story of this family.
I read this last night and could barely get through it without tearing up. I tried explaining what it was about to Chad and just started bawling. I thought about Kelsie while I read the whole thing. The heartache struck me to my core and I realized how truly blessed I am to have the privilege of this little spirit in my life.
I thought about the complaints I had/have with Kelsie and how they don't even compare to this mother's struggle.
I thought about what it would feel like to lose her....oh it would just brake me.
I thought about this little life that had so much to struggle with in just a few short months. Who smiled through her vent tubing. What a sweet little life!
I thought about my family. My dad. My testimony of the sacredness of a forever family.
How I don't even know how really blessed I am. How sometimes I take it for granted.
I sometimes wonder if I'm really using all my talents for the best things so I decided to help. They are doing a fundraiser to help raise money for research into SMA here. And she is also making leggings for the babies at Primary Children's here.
I don't know why this has affected me so much but it makes me really want to do what I can to help and to also share my blessing with those who need it. Even if it's just to help keep a cute little baby's legs warm!

Oh my goodness, Beth! That is so awful! I can't imagine going through that. I'm ready to sell our only car and give the money to SMARD research! j/k, but it really does put things in perspective quickly! Thanks for sharing! Now, I need a tissue!
Sorry but I'm not going to read it...I've stumbled upon those types of blogs and I'm just not in the mood to cry! But they sure do make you appreciate your own healthy happy children.
That is so sad. My heart aches for that sweet family. I'm glad you shared it. The leggins you made are darling. They will bring comfort to other sweet babies. love you... Mom
This is Krystal, I work with your mom. She told me to go look at the pictures on your blog. I read that blog and cried my eyes out. Thank you for sharing. It was a GREAT reminder of how blessed we are. If you don't mind would you please e-mail me the instructions to make the leggings. I would love to make some to donate.
