May 22, 2014 I'm Where You Should Be.

May 22, 2014 FB Post:  I needed to be there tonight! Gracie was already registered to begin her 2nd year of preschool but she was a little over a month shy of completing her first year when she died. Last night, a friend lovingly asked if attending the preschool graduation would be hard. I realized how much experience changes our perspective. Yes, it would be hard but what's harder is living every day doing things for my other kids that I'm not doing for Gracie. From buying Spring clothes to ice-cream at the drive-thru; I feel horrible "mom guilt" when I'm not doing for one child what I'm doing for another. That feeling doesn't go away when they die. If anything it's worse. Preschool graduation was something I could do for Gracie. This morning I got a text from Teacher Misty. Teacher Janna usually helps but couldn't be there tonight due to her son playing in the high school State Championship soccer game in Salt Lake. Misty asked if I would help tonight! How perfect is this? How cool is Gracie's mom!? Gracie would think that was awesome! I got to be Teacher Misty's special helper and be with all her friends. Thank you teacher Janna for being there for your child so I could be there for mine! And to Fremont boys soccer team...you're welcome:) I needed to be there tonight.
