I completely know what you...I loved your thoughts. I completely know what you are talking about. I worry that my son gets the love and attention he needs all the time. And I feel bad saying, "Not right now, your sister has a therapist appointment, or I have to do something for your sister." It is not an easy thing, but it is a good thing to have families where there is a lot of love and they are constantly looking out for everybody. You will be great! :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000964555413578385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147677202678637648.post-39516477297849266012009-12-26T11:08:17.482-08:002009-12-26T11:08:17.482-08:00Thanks ladies for responding I just felt the need ...Thanks ladies for responding I just felt the need to clarify one point as I received a concerned e-mail. I DO NOT consider Isaac a burden nor do I think that Miles is worse off for having him for a brother. I was commenting only on my thoughts on being a wife and mother and how I can do better. I really appreciate hearing that I am not the only one out there who feels this pull and struggles to balance. Thanks again everyone for your advice.Lucky Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170703387007510232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147677202678637648.post-82706200600478817322009-12-22T20:50:27.596-08:002009-12-22T20:50:27.596-08:00I LOVED reading your thoughts on the matter. I do...I LOVED reading your thoughts on the matter. I don't have a sick child. On the contrary, I have had rather healthy children.... all of them.... so I don't think i could even pretend to know what you go through (so maybe I shouldn't be leaving a comment), but I just wanted to say that I second everything you said. And while it may not be the same, i have similar feelings regarding how I want my children to feel about how I feel about them, and it is tough to give every child an equal amount of love. But I do feel like each child is sent to the family that they are sent to for a reason. And maybe that reason isn't to get as much attention as their siblings, ya know. Maybe they were sent there because it's okay for them to not be the star of the show (so to speak).... but anyway.... I love reading your blog.... I pray for you everytime I see it and think about you getting your little girl. I think you are an amazing mom. I always thought that when I had Miles in my home for JoySchool, you really are amazing. Good luck with the rest of the road.... I hope it's shorter than it feels. And thanks for sharing your thoughts :)Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09254127370523043887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147677202678637648.post-22385936850555628252009-12-22T15:48:10.613-08:002009-12-22T15:48:10.613-08:00I've been where you are...hell, I still am. I...I've been where you are...hell, I still am. I've watched my daughter suffer and die, then turn right around and watch my son head into transplant, all the while my marriage was hanging by a thread.<br /><br />My only advice is to always remember that even though you and Michael are going through this together, your journeys are completely different. His feelings and thoughts will be so different from yours and it will drive you crazy, but they are valid and need to be respected.<br /><br />We are four years post transplant with Aren and have lived five years without our Lily. It's sucked, and it's ok to say that out loud, but it's not ok to let it run our lives. We'll never get over it, but we will move forward...there's a difference.MaryBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141444251634623994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147677202678637648.post-6791845566756270632009-12-22T10:56:53.866-08:002009-12-22T10:56:53.866-08:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Lucky Mama. It m...Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Lucky Mama. It made me think about times we've been through in our family with two preemies and a child who needs extra support every day. There were also times when one person or another required all our energy and concern. <br /><br />It's different than your situation, but I can relate to what you're saying.<br /><br />I'm glad you shared your thoughts, because I think we all can apply them to our lives, whatever the challenge.<br /><br />Thanks for giving me some things to think about... and God's blessings on your family!Traciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384185113252420352noreply@blogger.com
