I read a blog.....

So tonight I got annoyed with my husband over something really silly. He left knowing I was bugged and really not understanding why. He was right, there really should have been no problem. I made something out of nothing. I wish I could say I just got over it but I didn't. I had to come across someones blog for me to realize I was being silly.
This man had just lost his wife and new baby a few weeks ago. They also had 3 young children. He was talking about their last day together and the things he missed about her but was glad at the same time that he was able to have the time he had with her. As I sat reading this I started crying and couldn't seem to stop. I still can't.
I started thinking about what my family would remember about me If I died. I know I never want to think about this. As much as I know we will be together forever I don't want to leave. I sat there going I don't want my husband to think I get mad over silly things and my kids remember a mom who was always busy. I want them to know how much I truly do love them and could not imagine what it would be like if they weren't here. My goal in life has always been to be a good wife and mother and stay close to the lord. I know I need a lot of work in all these areas. Though after reading this mans thoughts it made me want to be an even better person. I want to thank this man for his testimony. He doesn't know me or what he's done but I am truly thankful. I am going to go give all my children hugs even though it is 11:30 at night! Also tell my husband I love him and think he is the best husband and father in the world.

The blog I read is dennyandwendy.blogspot.com. Do not read this with out a box of tissues.
