Hey Everyone. I don't know about you guys but I am totally inspired by Susie. I was thinking about something the other day. When my friend died, his mother was absolutely falling apart. She made no sense, had to be on medication from day 1. I saw her the other day and she still seems like she cannot function almost 6 years later. I cannot imagine and do not want to imagine what it feels like to lose a child, but judging from what I am reading about Susie, she has such a hope through all of this. Such support, and even though I'm sure it hurts beyond imagination inside, she still has a hope. My friend's mom is in extreme pain I'm sure, but even from the beginning, she knew he was in heaven, and she knew that he had saved 6 people's lives with his organs, but still had no hope. It was quite sad. I know I cannot pass judgment at all, but I do see such a difference between the two situations. I remember going and visiting her a few weeks after my friend died and I left totally depressed and in tears. When I read Susie's blog, I feel such peace (still tears, but good ones!). God is the difference. I am definitely still praying for the Sams family because I know that it is much harder now. During this time.

On a much more not important note. I am trying to get in shape for a cruise that Josh and me are taking in April. I am wondering if I am going to go a day without being in pain. I went to a personal training session and it was 1/2 hour. So I was thinking really, how much of a workout can I get..OH MY GOODNESS. Everything hurts. Everything. I cannot sit, stand, lay down, nothing. I have to do that workout 3 times a week and include at least 35 minutes of cardio everyday. Ya right. I will say I will give it a shot, but no promises. Anyway, my big boy wants me to get up. I will write later!

P.S. Get on Susie's blog mnssams.blogspot.com and watch the video of Joshua- So precious!
