Happy yet sad



Today was a good day in general. It was sunny and 73 and the kids were pretty good. In the afternoon I had my 4 1/2 year old help me make a few cards for Cards4Cancer, she had a good time but wanted the stickers for herself after a bit.
Then later I get on twitter and thru who I follow find more moms tweeting about their sick, some terminally ill children. It's either brain tumors or Neuroblastoma and its just horrible. It is hard to fathom these children being born to be sick and some to die. They are all here for a very important reason, but it is just way too unfair. I want to hug each and every one of them. I want to donate to them all but I can't. I want to support them any way I can.
I bought a Layla Grace tutu ( from www.littledivatutus.com) for my almost 2 year old for her birthday outfit. When it arrived, I had momentarily forgotten I had ordered it and I began to cry. By the time I received it, little angel Layla had passed away from Neuroblastoma. At least 1/2 of the proceeds are going to her family to pay for all her medical bills.
So tonight after the kids went to bed, and I kissed my little one so much when she fell asleep in my arms, my hubby and I made cards. I chose a children's cancer center and we handmade 13 adorable cards that will hopefully cheer them up and let them know that people that they don't know love them and care about them and think about them. So overall it was a happy day and a bit of a sad day for me. On to the next:-)
