i feel you, and am so very sorry any...dear andie, <br /><br />i feel you, and am so very sorry any of us have to live the lives we live. having said that, i can say that raising calvin has opened me up to so many people, insights and experiences i never would have been exposed to otherwise. loving a child who is so compromised is a unique experience and has humbled me and emboldened me in profound ways. i hope this for you.<br /><br />thank you for writing. it means the world.<br /><br />christyChristy Shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106761191160700997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-67672501747078323472019-10-08T13:32:43.300-04:002019-10-08T13:32:43.300-04:00I feel you. “Dictated by a sick kid” . Oh Christ...I feel you. “Dictated by a sick kid” . Oh Christy this life is so sad. I wonder why I couldn’t have had a normal child. I feel so tired. My body is aging, my hair thinning, my strength diminishing. I wish I could have had a normal daughter to<br />Have raised these past 16 years. I mourn that her childhood is over, yet she is in a toddler state forever. I missed a whole childhood, now I will never know a normal young adult either. I lost a career, marriage, self and I continue to follow a sick child around every moment. This is all<br />That seems to have been in the cards for my life. Thank you for allowing me to voice what I have never voiced. Andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027163638314511943noreply@blogger.com
