Journaling my life... our lives

I found out this evening that my dear friend not only has breast cancer but it has metastasized to her liver. It is incurable.  She is in her early 40's and has 3 beautiful children.  My heart is breaking for them all... how does a family survive without their mom?  It seems near impossible. 
  It has caused me to think about my life and my family.  I could someday be in my friends situation and what would I regret?  What would I rush to do?  Lot's of things unfortunately.  But, I'm going to work on shortening that list, starting with journaling.  And so starting today I hope to better capture and preserve the moments that are my life.  I am so thankful for all those little moments... like tonight when it was time for personal prayers and Campbell whispered his in my ear.  I could feel his warm breath on my cheek and was so thankful for this little crazy boy in my life.... so grateful to be his mom.
