Just monkeying around today...

My brother just called to tell me that one of his friends, Conway, passed away early this morning. My heart goes out to his family, and I can not even imagine what they are going through at this moment. He was only 26 years old. I will always remember him as the crazy little carefree kid that would run wild with Kody. When I hear something like this, I step back and evaluate my own life and all its blessings. I spend a little more time just watching the girls play instead of worrying about the mess, I spend a little more time listening to their questions instead of worrying about what I have to do next, and I spend a little more time tucking them in at night instead of running off to get ready for the next day. I cherish every moment I hear them laugh, see them smile, and listen to them say "I love you, mommy". You never know how much time you'll have. Rest in peace, Conway.
