...things are put into perspective. Here I'm whining about Lucy, who can't stand to see me leave the room. She just wails and screams until I pick her up. It's very aggravating.
I finally got her down for a nap and I'm sitting here sewing and watching Regis and Kelly. They started to read a story about a family who is still trying to come through a horrible tragedy.
"Dear Regis and Kelly, my name is Kim, and I'm writing on behalf of Kacy Hardenbrook and Jordan Edsall, they got engaged last Valentine's Day and were planning to get married, unfortunately, their plans for a beautiful wedding came to a crashing halt when their tragedy occurred on August 20th 2007," states a letter addressed to the famous morning show. An explosion at the home of Hardenbrook's mother, Deb, left Kacy, and her two young daughters fighting for their lives with third degree burns covering their bodies. "Due to the severity of the burns, none of the three girls look the way they used to. They've been in and out of hospitals for the last few months, traveling every week to Cincinatti to visit 2-year old Hanna, where she's still receiving special care for her burns, because of it all, a wedding for Kacy and Jordan was put on hold," states the letter. The couple was picked out of thousands to win the 2008 Live Wedding with Regis and Kelly. "Their story of love and courage moved us all," said Kelly Ripa. "We had Reg on there and he's smiling big," says Jordan Edsall, the groom-to-be. "And, he said, Casey and Jordan,and I said 'huh?', what in the world, ya know, from then on, I just started to cry," says Kacy Hardenbrook, the bride-to-be. "They've showed an enormous amount of courage," says Richard Mathys, Hardenbrook's grandfather. While most of the family is now in New York getting ready for the big wedding, Friday, Kacy's grandfather, Richard ,stayed back in Garrett because of health problems. He says the whole town's happy for the strong couple. "I think it's the greatest thing that can happen to a wife and husband, a man and woman to be married," says Mathys. The world will meet Jordan and Kacy Tuesday, live on the show. Regis and Kelly airs on NBC 33 at 9am. "Things are only going to get better from now on, we have so much to look forward to," says Hardenbrook.
And I'm concerned about Lucy's naps?

It is so true that sometimes we only see things in our own lives when out there in countless places others are going through some really difficult circumstances. Thanks for sharing the story in your blog. We wish that couple and their family only happy days ahead!
Love, Grandma & Grandpa
