There are many things in this world that I love. But there is nothing more that I love than my nieces & nephews. Every aunt thinks her nieces & nephews are the cutes, I just happen to be right because mine are not only cute but they are AMAZING!!!
There are so many good causes out there to be involved with but for me personally my two favorite ones are The Ronald McDonald House & The March of Dimes. I became involved with this organization when I was in high school & have tried to do the walk every year.
This year I found out about it a week ago so I got my info & my new shoes to do the walk. I didn't walk with a team it was just me but I met a lady names Katherine from Bremerton and she was sweet enough to ask me if I wanted to walk with her & her team. As we got talking she told me how she had a premie baby last September and the baby didn't make it. Her cousin had also lost a premie baby. Another lady in the team had a young boy who was a twin, his name is Emmett & his brother did not make it. You would think these people would be angry and looking to blame someone & maybe they do but today they were out there supporting other families that might need help with their premies. I talked to Katherine & i told her "One always thinks that this happens to other people but never do we think we could be those people." Katherine & her cousin are now pregnant and you can see the fear yet hope in their eyes as they get ready to bring a new life into this world.
So as I mentioned before my great love are my nieces & nephews and today I became even more grateful for them in my life. Not only are they amazing young men & young ladies but they are healthy. I know I get caught up in things that seems to be so important at the time but after talking to Katherine it made me realize how pity they really are.
My invitation is that we all look for a cause that we believe in or would love to help. As Gandhi said "Be the Change you want to see in the world."
