Counting Blessings

I found out today that a classmate of my son Zach's died yesterday. Jason DePew had a rare form of cancer and has battled it most of his high school years. He was a fighter...and it was touching to see him accept his diploma this year at graduation, knowing what he had been through.
I can't imagine the pain his parents are going through right now. My heart hurts for them.
It's times like these that I thank God for my children ..that I got a text from my son that just simply said " Hi Mom "...that I got a phone call from my daughter wanting to know how my trip was. Being an "empty nester" also makes me appreciate those messages and calls even more.
Time is precious.
