A family came into the store this morning: a father and four pre-teens, probably ranging from age 10-15. They were there to buy a memorial bouquet to put at their mother's grave.
I barely managed to keep the tears in.
My life is good.

That's why I never take anything for granted. When people complain to me about their parents, I listen as a friend and say nothing. When people are unreasonable about their parents short comings I remind them that parenthood does not come with a rule book.
When they complain too loudly about the bickering or the neediness or whatever their 'issue' is. I gently remind them that some day all the things they are currently bitching about they will miss and wish they had back even for 5 minutes. And then I also remind them I sadly know it as a fact.
Even with everything that went on this weekend, my life is still good. Thanks for posting this Sarah, I needed a little reminder this morning.

I know I certainly welled up when both girls remembered at the same moment that they great-grandma card they wanted to get would not have a recipient this year. I wanted to buy it anyway.
I'm having trouble with perspective at the moment, but I'm working on it.
