Hard Life Lessons

This Valentines day we didnt go out and get Valentine's cards, we instead got sympathy cards for both my mom and Nate's Dad and step mom. My mother is experiencing a miscarriage, which she is very devastated about. The kids understand the pain miscarriage causes and wanted to show their grandma they care. As for my in-laws, their dog, Sammy had to be put to sleep yesterday and my mother in law is absolutely devastated and is extemely sick to boot so we brought some cards and candles to each to show we care. This is such an important lesson for our kids and I am glad to be able to show them how we can be compassionate to those who are hurting.
