99% Happy, 1% Sad

I've always said that my job is 99% happy, but the 1% sad is REALLY SAD.   Well, that 1% is an understatement as of late.  I just returned from attending a visitation for a sweet, God Loving, beautiful, Healthy thirty-one year old mother.  Jeanie Payne died of breast cancer that was diagnosed about a year ago.  She has two beautiful baby girls,ages 1 and 3.  And just a few weeks back, the funeral for sweet Stella Rose.  She was just 2 1/2 years old last fall, when she was diagnosed with brain/spinal cancer.  I truly loved and prayed for that baby (before she was even concieved).

These sad, sad events have really made my hyper-aware of how precious time is with my husband, children.  I truly just feel so guilty alot of the time because I feel too blessed (if that even makes sense).  These families have really taught me to be more prayerful and to not let there spirits' die.  One thing I do know, is that I will ALWAYS remain hopeful because my sweet bestie Lauren did beat the odds and is a 5 year survivor from brain cancer.
