Blessings

Do you ever wonder where your life is going?  What path you are on? Why not you? Am I strong enough for this? How come certain people come in and out of your life? Well I'm sure I'm not the only one that has these questions and more, but I do want to tell you about a little boy named Aaron. . . aka Mr. Gru!!
As most of my family nows I started a new job this year with a program called GRIT. http://www.gritprogram.com  It is a wonderful program that has given me the opportunity to meet an amazing family. This family has a little boy named Aaron. He is a cute little 3 yr old with an illness that doesn't quit have an explanation. At this point I'm not sure if I even tried to describe it that I could do it properly. So I will leave it at that. I have had the privilege of spending every morning of the last 2 months getting to now him and his family. Over the last month he has progressively gotten sicker, and last night was admitted into PICU, in the Stollery Childrens Hospital. This afternoon his health took a turn for the worse and now I am asking all my family to pray for him and his family. We are so blessed to have a huge family to draw prayers and support from. I can only imagine how many blessings Aaron would have had by now knowing our family, and the abundance of love he would feel.
His family is a family unit that has so much strength, love, devotion and understanding of what is going on with their life that it reminds me daily that "things happen for a reason". God works in ways we can't begin to understand, he also will never give us more than we can handle. So, as for my question "Why do certain people come in and out of our lives?" Well I'm not sure why the Fortier's let me into their lives, forced by GRIT,  but I am so grateful to now this family and Aaron and what pillars of strength they are! Mr. Gru is really a one of a kind!
