Stevie Joy

This past week while reading our local Minneapolis news website I stumbled upon a link to Kristin and her blog. Her blog is written in the form of letters to her daughter Stevie Joy. Stevie Joy died on May 8th when Kristin was 26 weeks pregnant due to a blood clot in her umbilical cord.

No other blog has ever captivated me the way Kristin's has. It has opened up my eyes to this world we live in. How harsh it can be. How short it can be. How we MUST live today like there is no tomorrow. How we must show kindness to others because you just never know what they went through yesterday. How I must appreciate my children even in their worst moments of crabbiness and temper tantrums. How I must love my husband and put his needs before mine as he has so unselfishly done for me, for years.

Stevie Joy has taught me how I must live. And that's just what I'm doing.
