Amazing People

God is amazing, and He puts amazing people in our lives. I am lucky to have so many amazing people around me. Conner, Nash, and Phillip are here gifts everyday. I am so happy to have them so close to me. They influence every part of me in numerous ways. I would not be who I am without my husband. He is really a great gift from God. Without Phillip, I would not have theses amazing boys who teach me so many things. I have a great and amazing grandmother and uncle, who have been there for me in ways I could never have imagined. They have taught me how to behave (sometimes badly, but in a good way). My sister is my best friend. I know that she is there no matter what I do and what I need. I feel the same towards her and her little family. Our Aunt Lisa taught her how to be an amazing aunt, and I am hoping that some of that rubbed off on me as well.
But Even though I have these great people related to me, I am blessed to know some AMAZING people that aren't. My best friend and her family are more like a family to me sometimes more than my own. I know that she, as well as her sisters will be there no matter whenever I need them. And yes, I have been known to leave the boys with their daddy to be with them, too. Her parents really are more like parents to me than my own. Sometimes that drives her crazy, but she'll get over it :) I am lucky to know some other great friends who make my days better. I know that there are some people, that just a small text message from them, can make a smile come across my face. They are just kind and sweet. They think nothing of just saying hi to let someone know they care. I hope that works when I try it.
Now the real reason that I decided to write this on amazing people is because of one specific person. Everyday she amazes me. God made one extremely beautiful person when she was born. We haven't always been friends, but we have known each other for almost fifteen years (man we are getting old). Her son is sick. He has Tay Sachs. He is the same age as Nash. She has known for over a year now. To hear her describe the phone call breaks my heart. She is so strong. She deals with this everyday and everyday she becomes stronger. Her son's father is not in the picture, but God picked a great man who thinks of him and his older sister as his own. Today, I got a message that Make-A-Wish is granting their wish:) I am so happy for their entire family. They are going to lay on the beach - he loves to lay on the beach. She deserves every minute of joy she has with her little boy. She doesn't complain. She goes on everyday and pushes through every road block. She rarely has a break and has had sleepless nights, but she would do anything for her kids. I see her as the mother I want to be, and as a person I strive to be. I am thankful to know her.
God really has blessed me with a great batch of people. I am so thankful that they are in my life and in the lives of my children.
