You are SO WORTH LIVING FOR!

*SIGH* Folks, this would be a twofold post about stories in the news about the beginning and ending of life. The latter story was one I find so unsettling.

Let me start with the good news then:

• A California woman gave birth to Octuplets.--[*Click the Reference Section to read full story*]--Yep, not 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 BUT 8! Whoa! talk about a full house ei! ;) I would be so happy with even just one, so imagine the joy the mother must be feeling by being given the gift of life x8. As for me, It is not that I can't have a child, I am still very much able--[*I am not that oldie yet he! he!*]--It is just that it will be a high-risk pregnancy because of my heart condition. But then again, I am already joyful with the two four-legged babies I have now ;) MEOW!

And as a Cat Mom, I am feeling worried for my 1st one, Sammy--she's been limping for a couple of days now though she does not seem to be in any pain--if it worsens, a trip to the Veterinarian surely is in order.

Now onto the bad news:

• A father apparently upset over the loss of his job from a hospital shot dead his wife and five young children before killing himself.--[*Click on the Reference Section to read full story*]

TSK! TSK! I know times are though; I can't help but feel a heaviness in my heart while watching this story, I thought of how some people often take so many things for granted in life, being healthy, being able to go to work, school, spend time with family, friends and even being able to go to sleep and wake up the next day, and the list goes on which, unfortunately, especially the children in this story will no longer continue to experience. I surely will say an extra prayer for all of them.

When problems crop up in life, sometimes we are able to face it head-on, while at other times we just want to turn our backs away from them, thinking that It will just go away. On the extreme front, just like what the father did in this story by choosing death as an escape to their problems. I am not going to second-guess what he was thinking for him to resort to such a tragic decision; perhaps he can’t see any way out of their problems--but as the saying goes: I DO BELIEVE that WE WERE GIVEN LIFE BECAUSE GOD KNOWS THAT WE ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO LIVE IT! Suicide is NOT and WILL NEVER be an escape to our problems, a cowardly way out yes, but-- LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS to end it just like that.

Having said that, I will end this post with a featured song for y'all, especially dedicated to my loved-ones who makes MY LIFE SO WORTH LIVING!

You were my strength when I was weak-You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see-You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach-I’m everything I am-Because you love me!

Have a wonderful evening y'all and CELEBRATE LIFE!  *CHEERS*
