Remember Me

That is the movie that Matt and I saw last night and it was really good I thought. It really made you appreciate life and to not worry about the small things. Of course, I cried. But I am a crier now. LOL Everyone made a big deal about the movie b/c of Robert Pattison, which I really thought he did an excellent job in. Go see it. It's really good. Spoiler alert!: it brings back that terrible day in September, one I know that everyone will remember for the rest of their lives. It was a sad movie, not b/c of what happens with the character, but also b/c of 9/11. You not only think about what they are going through, but I felt that it makes you feel all the feelings you felt that day when the planes hit....confused, anger, sadness, hurt...That event is something that I will hold very close to my heart for all the people that lost their lives.

Another blog I was reading a few moments ago really touched me as well. I can't even imagine going through something like this. It's about this little girl, Layla, she's 2, who lost her fight with neuroblastoma-a type of cancer. She had two loving parents who were strong throughout this ordeal and two older sisters. She past away a few days ago from a long fight and after reading the blog, I will have to say I admire people like this. I can't even begin to think of what I would do if something like this happened to Miss B or any of my future kids. I was crying as I was reading it. God is a miracle worker, yes, however sometimes we don't understand why He takes some of the most beautiful people He creates. I think for this little girl, it was to show the world that even a 2 year old can fight for life and make such an impact on the world. Here is a poem some kind person, that the family doesn't even know, wrote for them about their Layla Grace. It just brings tears to your eyes.

Layla Grace, Layla Grace, with your sweet sweet smile and your angel face
You have moved many while running your race, darling Layla Grace
Though you are young and your years be few
God’s doing wonderous things through you
In present times we don’t understand
It can be hard to see His hand
But we know it’s part of a greater plan
We believe this to be true

For those on the outside looking in
We see a giant girlish grin
It’s hard to fathom endurance so great
And the fiesty fight of this featherweight
In the midst of suffering and enormous pain
Your parent’s steadfast faith remains
What a testament to all who view
The trials you are going through

We pray for a miracle, Lord once more
Pray more fervrently than we’ve ever prayed before
Have mercy on your witness small
Bring healing, peace, and rest above all
Lord, you alone know what’s to come
Bring peace and healing to everyone

To all of whom this girl did hear
Whether distanced far or nestled near
You’ve blessed us with a heavenly light
Her courage shining bold and bright
Bring her family peace tonight
Steady their ship and steer

And if you call this wee one home
No longer on this earth to roam
If her moments left are fleeting, brief
Comfort us admist our grief
Remind us of your perfect will
Hold us firmly, planted still
Let our hearts remain aware
That she is in your loving care

You will hold her tiny hand
And guide her through Your glory land
No more need for her to cry
As you sing her heaven’s lullabies
And rock her gently in your arms
Untouchable to hurt or harm

What a special treasure made in You
This precious child with eyes bright blue
A shining reflection of your glorious face
Lord, Thank you tonight for Layla Grace.
For each measured moment before family may part
Make sweet cherished memories to keep in their hearts
She’s made this world such a brighter place.
Lord, Thank you tonight for sweet Layla Grace.
