Silent Inspiration

This morning while I was driving my children to school my husband called me to tell me an "uplifting story." He asked me if I remembered the woman from Ladera Ranch who lost her three children in a tragic car accident. "Of course," I responded. "Who forgets such a tragic story close to home?" That story has weighed on my mind over the past six months. In fact, Lori Coble has been a source of "Silent Inspiration" for me. On the days where I feel like motherhood has gotten the best of me and I am at the end of my motherhood rope, I stop myself and think about Lori Coble. I stop and think that motherhood even on the hardest days is a blessing. There are people who lose motherhood in a instant. Lori Coble did. She lost her children because of a tractor truck driver. I think she would surely take all of the worst motherhood days back if it meant having her three precious children. She is my "Silent Inspiration" to never take motherhood for granted. She is a reminder that I need to love my children especially on the hardest days. Here's the good news. She is pregnant with triplets. Two girls and a boy. Obviously, you can never replace children, but she will have motherhood back. My prayers and blessings go out to her!
