. blessings .

my two sweet babies are sleeping, snug in their beds, and it melts my heart to think about what a blessing they both are to me.  i don't thank God near enough for them.  my prayers go out to a family who i read about on their blog who lost their sweet baby at 11 months old due to a congential heart defect.  she fought.  she fought hard.  and as they told their stories of their other three children all telling her "goodnight gracie" for the last time, i cried.  i forgot to tell karsyn "goodnight".  we rushed.  it was 9pm.  she was grouchy and i simply wanted her in bed. 

another blog i found (i will have to stop looking for new blogs to stalk), lost their sweet baby boy at 8 months.  he simply didn't wake up.  every night, mykah drinks her last bottle of the day and goes to sleep.  then we don't see her bright eyes until morning.  praise God she sleeps through the night already.  but his parents didn't get to see his bright eyes again.  and i didn't tell mykah "goodnight" either. 

so now, before i crawl into bed myself, i will take the chance of waking both of them up just to tell them "goodnight".  and probably some "i love you" too.  because you just never know.
