"Be thankful for your healthy kids"
I am fortunate as a parent to have two healthy kids. Many women have a hard time getting pregnant and others have children with various illnesses. I can't relate to these women, but I did miscarry my first child at about 6 weeks before having Kristofer. This gave me a new perspective on life. Life is precious. Life is a miracle. Life is a gift from God. Cherish life.
I'm thankful that my kids haven't had more than an accidental fall down a few stairs or a fall on the cement. It's always important to be prepared for emergencies, though. I bring this up because today I took a re-certification of Infant/Child/Adult CPR today and was reminded of how important this skill is. Anything can happen whether you think you're watching closely or not. I've had my share of finger-swipes getting objects out of mouths, but nothing more than that. That I am grateful for.
So whether you're a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or just plain citizen, CPR training is a must. Locate your nearest American Red Cross today. Life is precious. Life is a miracle. Life is a gift from God. Cherish life and be prepared.
