Today I feel selfish...

After getting back from Ohio I spent some time with my kids then went to sleep. I was REALLY tired. The next morning I woke up and went and photographed a wedding. Again... the word tired comes into play here. I had a few hours before I was expected to go to a birthday party and decided to read some of my friends emails and blogs. Big mistake. Three of them made me cry.

#1 My brother-in-law Nick and his wife Jasmine have two beautiful children. Their son is now 5 years old. The finally figured out what sickness he has had from birth.

Rigid Spine Muscular Dystrophy

Not an easy illness at all. They have done such a great job with taking care of him. He is such an adorable kid.

Their daughter has it too.

After reading all the prognosis' I could do nothing but cry. Please think of them... and if you pray... pray for them too.

#2 My friend Michelle is in Zambia. She is there with Mothers without Boarders. Yesterday she watched a 2lb baby die. Yeah, this made me cry too. She is there trying to help however she can. She says everyone in Africa is either infected by aids... or is affected by aids. For whatever it is worth, I would like to thank her for going. For all the children she is helping. I do hope she stays safe. God bless you Michelle!

#3 My friend Loralee. Yesterday, two years ago she lost her little boy Mathew to SIDS. This has been especially hard on her. As you can imagine. I read her blog yesterday and I just bawled like a baby. She has a cute slideshow on there of Mathew, with her singing at the funeral as the music. I just wanted to let her know that I was thinking of her. Please send out your thoughts to her as well.

In conclusion, I feel very lucky to have the life I do. Some days I feel like I hate my life, but honestly... my life is pretty good. To all of you out there that are having hardships in life right now, my thoughts go out to you.
