little heroes

I have heroes many of them. But lately i've been focusing my brain on some "little heroes" there is not a day that goes by that i do not pray for these little buggers. Its crazy to me how some blogs can really shake my world. IN a good way! I usually take an hour of my day to catch up (follow) some of my fav blogs.... cause i can honestly say. ...They have changed my life.... with that said....I would like to introduce you...whomever that may be :) to my little heroes... They both can be found here on these two blogs....they are ultimatley amazing to me.

The first is Skyler the second is Cami they are both really young children battling cancer. Reading what they have been through is absolutley astonishing to me. Seeing their poor bodies go through so much at such a young age absolutley kills me. Knowing that they have to stay inside watching all the other children playing outside and living "normal lives" just breaks my heart. Skyler is not only fighting cancer but also had to deal with loosing his daddy not long ago. The crazy miracle to all this...is the parents of Cami and sweet Skyler seem like the most lucky blessed people you would be thankful to know. They turn this whole trial into such a positive state. These kiddos, being as sick as they are most days.. .still find the determination to get up and fight to be "kids"... They smile even though they are getting poked and are in and out of hospitals, and are constantly on a roller coaster of emotions, and unemaginable pain. They laugh, they dance, they play, they dream, they cry, THEY SMILE! That's the thing....every picture I see of them they are smiling... not with just their smiless....but their whole face...they are just the most strong-willed, full of life...little people :)
On a day where my daughter is throwing an hour long tantrum or my son is yelling at me because I lossed one of his legos...Or my daughter pees on my floor, or my son tells me he hates me, Or im mad because my house didn't get as clean as I would have liked it to be. I just think of my little heroes and thier great big battles next to my tiny tiny battles...and it gives me great courage and the appreciation that I need to carry on.. NOt only do these kiddos remind me to be grateful, but they remind me that life is truly so fragile and to take advantage of every min of every day and every tantrum and episode I experience. Cause in reality im lucky to have my babies at all. ;)

Hug & HOld your babies a little longer, extend bedtime a little later, and never ever stop loving them the mostest ;)
