she waves, blows kisses, says "bye bye dada", and sometimes she even cries.
as she's gotten older this happens less, but when she was first born i would get so much anxiety as he drove away. i'm not one of those people who spends much time worrying and i often wish i was just a little more paranoid for my own good/safety. but having my daughter just made me so much more aware, more appreciative, of all my husband does for us and that i don't know what we would do without him. when i first went back to work he was always the one to drive SG to daycare and there were many days when i was crippled by anxiety and worry when the two of them would drive away.
because my whole world was in that car.
so when i hear about things like this my heart just hurts. and i'm reminded of my worst fear, that life as i know it can be over in an instant. i don't know Julee but some blog/twitter friends of mine do and they have just amazed me with the love and support they have shown this family and in such a short amount of time.
here are some of the ways that you can help
a college fund has been set up for Matt and Julee's daughter, Preslee
and the best place i know to get updates on how you can help is here
i'll be hugging my little family a little tighter tonight
Ugh, I know exactly what you mean. Life can change in one second-- we really need to live each day like it is our last. So heartbreaking. Thank GOD Julee has Preslee.
