Paying it forward...best feeling in the world!

I herd about a family who lost their baby at 8 months old today. They are doing a benefit for the family on 6/30/12 to help raise money for a urn, and to cover the cost of the funeral. After hearing about this I thought it was a great opportunity to pay it forward. I contacted the funeral home, and told them that our family would pay for the urn for the baby. We are paying it forward in honor of Maggie, and ALL the people that helped us out along her journey. It brings tears to my eyes to be able to not only honor my daughter,but this baby as well. I cried in the shower today thinking of this family, and the mother of the baby. I sobbed so hard because I know first hand the battles of what she is going through,but one battle that I did not have to worry about for long was the expenses of Maggie funeral, and burial arrangements. I am so glad that we can take some of Maggie's money to ease this families pain.
I have been thinking about Maggie an awful lot today. Some tears have come.but for the most part it has been peaceful thoughts. I thank her for the lessons she has taught me, and I am so grateful to have spent the time carrying her.
