okay, so I never am one to watch "The biggest loser" I always start the show but never finish. I wasnt planning on watching it last night either, but my husband had it on and when I came out from feeding Hannah he had tears in his eyes.
What I said, just wait.
Okay, so they go around their little circle of why they are here, and sure enough: "my name is Abby and last year (or whatever) my 2 and 1/2 week old (yes week old) baby boy and my daughter, 5 I think, and my husband were in a car accident and they all died."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, tears streaming down my face becuase of course do you not only have to listen to this heart renching story but they show the dang pictures of the kids. This beautiful red headed little girl, holding a tiny bundle....which the mother only got to know for two weeks. The first two weeks, the hardest part of being a mother, no sleeping, feeding every two hours, trying to read the signs of your baby etc. etc. and I bet the husband being a great man was just taking the kids out of the house for an hour or so, so mom could get a little nap.
And then come to find out you have no more moments, you wont get to see the true colors of your babies eyes, the color of his hair, his first word, rolling over, crawling, walking, talking and the first kiss and hug and squeeze of your finger (shall I say it again) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I hate this show, just like I hate Extreme Home Makeovers.
I just thought since my heart was torn out last night I would at least get it off my chest and share this with you, this amazing women who actually had the will everyday to get out of bed after losing her entire world.
Just think about it today, and when you are irritated that your daughter doesnt want to wear what she picked out last night for preschool today, or your other daughter wont sleep, or you battle about whats for lunch, or chocolate milk, or spilled milk, or color crayons etc. remember Abby and just realize how fast your world could dissapear.
Tell everyone you know you love them today!! Tell them I love them too!!!

I started to read an article about her last week and as soon as I read that she lost her family and the ages of her kids I couldn't read the rest. How horrible! I would not have been able to handle the pictures and sad music.
