You know I have seen this many times and yes it is a cruel thing to do any kind of hoax, especially one like this.

BUT! I have to say this. Despite it being a hoax I think there is something valuable here that we all should think about...even if we don't have children.

*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick
you up and take you to the park to play.

*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let
you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.

*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the
computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.

*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble
when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will
buy you one if he comes by.

*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be
when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you
are concerned.

*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I
won't stand over you trying to fix them.

*Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a
Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a
story about how you were born and how much I love you.

*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get
angry.

*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the
porch and count all the stars.

*Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss
my favorite TV shows.

*Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you
pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest
gift ever given.

*I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching for their
missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their
children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who
are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly,
and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.

*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a l
ittle longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask Him
>> for nothing, except one more day............

Thanks for letting me know. I'm sorry, a lot of people here sure feel for it. Thanks so much for the link.
