Not so bright & Shiny: July 2012

My arms are empty and acheing...

I can’t believe I’m a mother without…

Life has been twisted and turned upside down. As a mother, I had both the wonderful privilege of holding my sweet son as I brought him into this world…and the horrible chore of holding him as he took his last breaths and left this world, at only 7 years old. June 24, 2010 he earned his angel wings, passing away after an inspiring but brief fight against Cystic Fibrosis. Now I live, solely focusing on living a life to get to be with him again in heaven, and to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis research. I am dedicated to a cure, not only for my sweet sons legacy but so that other CF families never experience the greatest loss of their lives that we are now facing. My mother’s arms are missing Connerman, yet he still inspires me daily to leave a mark of LOVE on this world…so for you my sweet prince, mommy will try!

No coincidences…

I just had to share…I don’t believe in coincidences, I believe in Gods plan. Everything is part of a bigger plan…there’s no way this could’ve been orchestrated…

Two years ago as I was sending my beautiful son to heaven saying LOVE LOVE LOVE I could’ve never imagined that here I sit, two years later getting ready to welcome a daughter…his sister…who he named (middle name) 7 years ago. Adding to our family in the 7th month of the year, whose birthstone is RED.

and COOLEST part of all…today Bath and Body Works introduced a new lotion…I mean SHUT UP RIGHT??!!! And I received mine in the mail last week before it hit the shelves…I couldn’t have put this all together more perfectly myself…

So I’m just awaiting her arrival…smelling of LOVE LOVE LOVE in a month of RED birthstones…

coincidence? I think NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love love love

**btw I am not endorsing the above mentioned product, I’m simply giving God a SHOUT out for his plan and blessings..**

Did You Know....

There are over 100,000 people, the size of a small city, on the transplant list in the US.

There were less than 10,000 deceased organ donors in the US last year. (that's a ratio of 1 organ donor to every 10 transplant patients).

In the time it takes you to shower today, 1 new name is added to the US transplant waiting list.

From the time you woke up this morning to the time you wake up tomorrow morning, 18 people will die waiting for their transplant in the US.
