99 Balloons

GraySaturday

So, this was on Oprah, apparently (I didn't see it there) but my teacher in my Human Development class last night showed it to us to drive home the point that life moves so fast, and sometimes we take for granted all of the easy things in our lives. Elliot's parents spent the time they had with Elliot, celebrating instead of mourning.

I wanted to share it with you guys because its so touching. These people seem like wonderful people, and its really inspirational to see a family share such love for such a short time.

**Warning - It can be a tear jerker.. my class was all in tears..

My wife TiVo'd that and showed it to me. I typically don't watch Opra's pieces but this one was moving. It's nice to see that they are moving on and are having another baby. I'm sure that helps. "I can be sad later" is a great attitude.

It reminded me how fortunate I am to have 4 happy, healthy children.
