Spending time with cousins

Recently, we had the opportunity to spend some time with my cousins children. They were spending the weekend at my aunt and uncle's house, their grandparents. They had fun playing and going on an egg hunt. We have not seen them since their mother passed away. What beautiful children! I can see Tanya in them. It was great to see my aunt and uncle as well. On the down side, my uncle's cancer has apparently spread and he has lost alot of weight. He has stopped medication because it was not helping any. But he continues to do as much as he can! I was so glad to be able to spend this precious time with him and his grand children. In the days since, it has given me a wake up call. It has finally sunk in...time is precious. I certainly don't know when life will take me or my children. I no longer think that I don't have time. I have anything but time for my children. I remember when I was pregnant with Jonathan and a friend telling me, quite a few times, to spend as much time as possible with him. He is only young once. Well, Margaret, I understand now! Thank you! We have so little time. Why not make the most of it?!
