Thank goodness for talented, articulate writers like yourself that give a voice to the rest of us tounge tied mamas. My daughter is almost 1 year, with intractable epilepsy due to a genetic condition. We are so happy she will be home with us for Christmas:)<br />I am trying to find a quote I remember reading here. It was short- possibly 2 or 3 lines, and was about only being able to see the stars after a storm? Or only seeing stars during dark times? Does it ring a bell?<br />I wanted to engrave this on a keychain for my husband- he is an avid astronomer and it was just perfect after our rough first year. Thank you!

Usually from another room, where we had been told to GO.... NOW!! Often, it was the final, desperate (I choose to believe) prayer that followed milder expletives such as "As I LIVE and BREATH", "Hell's Bells!" or (my favorite) "DO YOU HAVE a brain cell working??!!". Ah, yes.... good memories! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
