Amazing people

So i was watching the show "extreme home makeover." I don't know how many of u watch it, but i love that show. Every time i watch it i cry and cry! I just cant help it. This show influenced me more than any other though. There was a mom and she was a photographer. She had 3 children but her third baby was preemie and they didn't know if her little guy was going to make it. (I think we all have heard stories about families losing there children after birth.) Thank goodness her baby pulled through and made it. There house then was flooded and destroyed everything.. her photo studio, family pictures, everything in there home was toxicated. She then decided to start taking photos for families who had preemie babies, whether they made it or not, and she did it for free! They showed different families thanking her for documenting photos of there little ones who did not make it, and how thankful they were to her for giving them the memories of every little thing about there baby. There hands, feet, nose, how petite they were, there eyes. All the babies were so sweet. I think this really hit home for me, now that i am a mother and i know how devastated i would be to lose Gavin. I just couldn't stop thinking about that women,, how much she had been through and lost and still was able to give to others. This really made me want to be a better person. I have been so blessed in my life with and amazing husband and a beautiful healthy baby boy. There are so many people out there who put others first and just keep on giving. I want to be one of those people. I hope this story makes u want to also.
