Day 13 - Read
What article or book changed your outlook on an issue or life?
I really don't read that much, besides some blogs and, yes, I admit it, I read The Hunger Games series, neither of which I would say really change my life outlook.
But as I mentioned before, Here, I read an article this year that really hit me hard.
It's written by a mother who's baby boy was born with Tay-Sachs, and its absolutely heart-breaking. As I read, I tried to imagine {and at the same time refused to imaging} looking at Rowan the way this mother has to look at her son.
Every time I think about it, I ball my eyes out. {even now}. But I can't really ever forget it either, or the perfect little face of her baby.
So I have a constant reminder of perspective. What is important. How to spend our time here together.
And that's why Notes From a Dragon Mom changed my outlook on life.
