Just a thought

So November went by faster then we wanted and now we are in December! The year went by so fast its hard to imagine that just 5 months ago my little Jaja was born. But today I was thinking about life in general - My grandmother just came back from La Paz Mexico and has not felt good since. She has heart problems and seems to get very tired. She is 85 and has always been very active.
Well with everything that has gone on this year, my son being born, my two year wedding anniversary, and now this - I feel like I have lost sight of so much. My son has shown me how important it is to live and to be happy at all times. He never seems to not be happy - He actually is a very happy baby and for that I am blessed.
But I have forgotten how important it is to stay close to family and friends. How important it is to charish every moment we have here on earth with those we love. I think that seeing my 85 year old grandmother with my 5month old son has really made me see how life is short and at any moment it can end.
I know that God has a purpose for our lives and I see how at this moment my sons purpose is to bring joy to our lives and also to make my grandmother happy and laugh. Its nice to see her laughing and smiling with him and these are the moments I can share later on with my son.
This post was not intended to be sad but more of a reflection of life and where we are - God has blessed me so much and I want to thank Him for everything that he has given me. I hope that we can all remember this month is not about the gifts we recieve but rather the gifts we can give and not material rather those gifts of love, memories and hope to those who need it.
