Letters to God

At the urging of my father, last weekend my best friend Julie and I went to see a movie called Letters to God. Oh my goodness, bring the kleenex. It was a great story centered around a little boy who has cancer. The same cancer Jackson had. He even had the same scar down the back of his head like Jackson did. I ached for the mom, I felt every ounce of her pain. I felt her frustrating and I felt her fear. Most of all, I felt the love that she felt for her son. The brave boy in this movie was at least 8 years old, but he gave me some great perspective on things Jackson was probably feeling and thinking in his little two year old head. Things like, "God today I feel really icky, but I still want to play light sabers with my daddy." Or, "God, my mum looks sad today, so I am going to give her extra love." I think children, even young children like Jackson really have a grip on what life is about when they are faced with an illness. Jackson and I are so incredibly lucky that God chose us to be together. No one can ever take that feeling away and for that I am so, so very blessed! So now I am urging you to see this movie. More importantly love your children, forever and always!
