9 months old and a mom with a greatful heart

Preston is 9 and 1/2 months old and he is active and so fun.  Crawling around, pulling himself up all over the place, grabbing anything he can with his bear claws, and giving anyone that will let him kisses.  I was at the store getting fabric for our Halloween costumes, and I was talking to my sister.  She could hear the little guy flirting with everybody in the store.  She started to cry and told me the following story:
There is a woman in her stake that called her and was talking to her about her baby boy that wasn't crawling at the age of 10 months.  My sister's little boy, that is now a football star, never crawled.  So, they were talking about what my sister did and the experiences she had.  Come to find out, the lady called my sister a couple weeks later to say that her sweet 10 month old baby had cancer in all of his major organs.  He was getting more and more lethargic and they didn't know how long he was going to live. 

So, there I am in Joanne fabrics trying my hardest not to burst into tears just as they called my number to get my fabric cut.  I've been thinking a lot about that situation, and I"m so glad I have a healthy, growing, boy ... even if he is starting to give temper tantrums :)
