Moments To Remember

Not to dwell on the subject, but surviving cancer gives you new insight into how sweet each moment of life is - even the hardest ones. I guess you begin to understand that none of us are guarenteed another day, or even another minute. It is actually a gift to know that the moment you are in might just be your last. No, I am not full of doom and gloom, instead I am so much more full of praise and thanksgiving. Every moment brings me joy in some degree. Don't expect me to soon be reporting of my mountain climbing trip or sky diving adventure, instead you will see the "little moments" of our every day life - because for me, those are the true adventures. Last night was one of those moments. William Kirby Bing Wine served as 1st Grade Homecoming Representative for Ridgeview Christian School. He has been so excited about this. After arriving at the school last night, I took numerous pictures of Will and his classmate, Emily McMakin who joined him in serving as 1st grade Reps. With 10 minutes to go before the processional of class representatives, it hit me. This moment - seeing my son in such a grown up suit, being so excited and having such a wonderful time with his friends, made me cry! God blessed our family with Will almost 6 years ago and we have had so many moments like this, but last night I knew how blessed I truly am and will continue to be, because no matter the moment - I am here to enjoy it!
