Thanks to him, yo...You are amazing and so is Simon. Thanks to him, you and your partner are being strengthened and molded in ways you could never be without him. And while you want to be THAT mom...you are THAT mom, who looks at the rest of us and says "shut up. you have nothing to complain about." And "I" am that mom that says "You are right." <br />Saying prayers for your family...Kreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150279499093023760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439805193963673901.post-52247745436800769452011-08-15T19:59:21.057-07:002011-08-15T19:59:21.057-07:00Hey gals,
I found your blog through the CCA list s...Hey gals,<br />I found your blog through the CCA list serve. I get it. My son Sam was born 18 years ago with a rare genetic disorder, which at the time did not include a heart condition. It did include multiple anomalies, and by the time he was 16 he had undergone 30 surgical procedures, to that point we were pretty much dealing with a life-long disability. Then in 2009 his shunt failed, and while in for a 'routine' revision, he was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. It is believed that a stinking virus went to his heart and cursed him with this life threatening disease. At this point I am happy to say he is 'stable' on meds, but I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop. I will not say that I have not shared your feelings, I have. But I can say that I remind myself on a regular basis, that on any given day, there is a family who's life is harder than mine. Sam is our gift, and like all kids makes me crazy! Hang in there, and find a little piece of happy in each day. <br />DeborahDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486516586948727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439805193963673901.post-18064959570808557712011-08-15T05:56:35.516-07:002011-08-15T05:56:35.516-07:00I so, so wish you could be that mom, too.I so, so wish you could be that mom, too.tracey.becker1@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606831315390042198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439805193963673901.post-86118044141689148332011-08-05T06:59:53.397-07:002011-08-05T06:59:53.397-07:00I understand wanting to be that mom, badly.

I have a CM child and have allowed it to rule the last 2 years of my life, and yet I am also "that Mom". I need to focus on how blessed I've been and STOP feeling so fucking sorry for myself.
