I saw this video on Oprah, & since then I haven't been able to get it out of my head... His parents were so humble & grateful for the time they had with their son. Elliot's mom said, she made a decision to live in the moment & be happy, for each day they had. They would be sad latter.....I wonder as parents, if we showed this much gratitude & appreciation for our children's life daily.... Would we ever have another bad day? It's easy to take for granted, having healthy children... It puts into perspective what we should be grateful for. As a mother I know that I often lack patience with my girls... This is something that I am working on daily, to be better at. This video inspired me to want to be a better mother. I am really going to try & make more of an effort, to give thanks, & appreciate the "little" things.. It's kind of a tear jerker so sorry, but I wanted to share it. I think it has a great message.
