Hold on to the ones that you love!

This week-end was a hard week-end...My girls have lost a loved one in there class, He was a close friend..I have never had to loose a classmate until after graduation. Today was the funeral for Jesus Flores he was 14 and would have been in 8th grade, He had the biggest smile that I have ever seen. In the last 3 days I have experienced a Catholic beliefs and LDS, he was LDS but his family wasn't...We had a candle light vigual on Friday and a viewing on Sunday and a funeral today, I was holding it together for my girls until today at the grave sight. Usually Family leave and then let the funeral home take care of the rest, so the loved ones don't have to be there when they lower the dead, but today the mother wanted to see her son before he was lowered, because Catholics believe that they need to cover them before they leave. she went over and asked to see him one last time, I began to cry and loose it, I hurt so deep for her, the love that she had for him and to finally say goodbye, was too much. she just stood there crying and trying to hold her son, the other loved ones had to take her and try to get her to get control. At that moment I hurt so bad, to even imagine of loosing one of my children..You question how you would take it? what would you do? Would you be able to go on?how would you move one with out one of your children? So this post is for all of you that read this.
Read that book that your child wants you too, stay up later to get your girls pants washed that they want to wear tomorrow, leave the dishes in the sink, and make more time for the ones that you love, because maybe tomorrow they might not be there....I know I take advantage of the thing that I have, a lesson learned today, I want my children to know that I loved them.
