Life is precious

There are a few blogs I regularly follow. One is written by a stay at home mom in Arkansas who has a huge blog following. Her blog address is http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ She is a true Southern girl and is very entertaining! Kelly has prayer requests for different families and it was here I read about The Sullivans.

At 28 years old Sara Sullivan was diagnosed with breast cancer and found out she was pregnant around the same time, less than a year ago. She went through treatment, fought the disease, and was in remission when she had her baby girl Chloe three weeks pre-mature. Two days after they came home from the hospital Sara had a seizure, went into a coma, and passed away. If Chloe was not born pre-mature she would not be here. Sara's husband is now raising Chloe alone. He has amazing faith, a strong support system, and a love for his wife he will share with his daughter as she grows up. I have now read his entire blog (and cried many times through it), which began with Sara's diagnosis. It reminded me how precious life is and how blessed I am to be a mother and have such wonderful family and friends. If you have time please take a moment to read any entry from Brad's blog and say a prayer for this family. http://www.bandssullivan.blogspot.com/
