Support a Fellow Blogger

When I first started this blog, I had no idea how big or how interwoven the blogging community was - specifically the Mom Bloggers. I was also not on Twitter in the beginning - that is really where I realized this. As you begin to read and follow different blogs, you make friends and you begin to really look forward to reading some other blogs. You begin to follow stories, lives. Particularly touching are the stories involving children and tragedy. You may not know these people, but you certainly know motherhood and understand family. Twitter has provided a great service that allows bloggers to keep up with one another on a daily basis, albeit in short sentences. It doesn't matter that they may be half way around the world, you begin to enjoy exchanging comments or tweets with the. You just hope that they are lighthearted. But bloggers pull together, they really do. To send prayers, messages, display banners, whatever it is.

This past week, through Twitter, I learned that the Mom Blogging world has been touched by another unfortunate situation. Anissa Mayhew of Aiming Low, Hope 4 Peyton and Free Anissa suffered a massive stroke. And then another one. She is the mother of three young children, the youngest of whom is fighting ALL Leukemia. From what I understand, she is still in an ICU unit and unconscious, however, there are glimpses that she is fighting this and reacting through baby steps - trying to open eyes, reach, etc...

My thoughts, prayers and heart go out to this family. I ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers as well. If you are so inclined, please visit Hope 4 Peyton and leave her family a message. If you can and would like to help monetarily, please visit Aiming Low (I am working on getting the Paypal link here, but the HTML isn't working for me right now.)

Remember, life is precious - tomorrow is not promised to any of us.
