My friend, Karli, just posted a link on her blog to this sweet family who are going through a lot with their new little angel up at Primary Childrens hospital. I just cried and cried as I went through their blog. You have to go back about 3 pages to the start of when she was born, but it's worth it. You will probably cry too, but I also felt a sweet feeling of gratitude, peace, and hope. My silly tulips are nothing, I want to cherish the time I have with my kids, and make sure they know it! This little girls mother is a brave and amazing woman to go through all this with so much faith. It is inspiring. (*Jess, be careful, you will probably sob, due to pregnancy of course)

So, maybe life is unpredictable, exciting, hard, full of stretching and "A-ha!" moments. Its blooming crazy, I love it!
My goal is to journal experiences, keep in touch with friends, neverending art, and keep my secret chocolate stash overflowing.......all for my sanity.

The Ugly Facts About Plastic Bags
Plastic bags are made of polyethylene
Polyethylene is a petroleum product
Production contributes to air pollution and energy consumption
Four to five trillion plastic bags are manufactured each year
Americans use over 380 billion polyethylene bags per year
Americans throw away approximately 100 billion polyethylene bags per year
Of those 100 trillion plastic bags, 1% are recycled
It takes 100 years for polyethylene bags to break down
As polyethylene breaks down, toxic substances leach into the soil and enter the food chain
Approximately 1 billion seabirds and mammals die per year by ingesting plastic bags
Plastic bags are often mistaken as food by marine mammals. 100,000 marine mammals die yearly by eating plastic bags.
These animals suffer a painful death, the plastic wraps around their intestines or they choke to death
Plastic bags choke landfills
Plastic bags are carried by the wind into forests, ponds, rivers, and lakes

i went to the beginning of the story but couldn't read past the picture of the first surgery. too sad for me...i can't look at that.
That was definitely a touching and inspiring story. It's definitely a good reminder of how blessed we are when our families are healthy and how fragile life is. Thanks for sharing the site.
My brother's friends are going through the same daunting heart problems with their baby. I've been crying about it for months. It makes me appreciate what I have.
