The news from yesterday has made me do both the things you talk about. I literally laid awake almost all night thinking. Thinking about how thankful I am about the people I have in my life, etc. My DS (8 y.o.) came in at 4:00 am and asked if he could sleep with me. DH thinks he is too old for that and for the past couple of months we've been trying to get him to sleep in his own bed and not come in ours. But last night I let him lay with me and I just was so happy that I was there for him when he wanted me. It just tears my heart apart that there are 4 little kids now who can't sleep with their mom if they want to. Its not fair.<br><br>
But, like you said, I was also thinking about things that I'm doing that I shouldn't be, or things that I'm not doing that I should be doing. Because life is too short to be unhappy. So I think its natural to think about those things when you hear news like I did yesterday.<br><br>
On a positive note, the 2nd grade son of hers that was with her on the snowmobile is going to be ok.
