Re: alright, fvckers. heres my novel.

    That story terrified me and make me thankful at the same time. Like Thanksgiving with zombies.

    It's awesome quotes like this that make me call this place home.

    yes, i am always on edge.  i am always nervous and always worrying.  but i've gotten good at hiding it.  it bothers my husband and i am sure it would negatively affect my children, so i internalize it.

    i also drink ;)

    and i don't even know what normal is.  well, no.  i guess this is normal.  i try not to be too overbearing or helicopter-mom-esque.  some days thats hard. 

    I dig you.  I read your post today about the canoe trip, and the more I learn about you, the more I dig you.

    I know we have talked a little bit about raising kids with medical concerns, but wow, I can't imagine what it's like to live always worrying about E.  And now, maybe worrying that Noah's worrying about E.  Since bringing M home, I get always being on edge; most our time has been like that, and I get that becoming the new normal.  But in my case, I can see it getting better, and cling to the hope of it dissipating, and I see myself becoming less and less on edge and letting go more.  So while I understand the feeling, I also understand how strong you must be to cope with that heightened sense of--well, everything--indefinitely.  I also understand how you can say that it's still pales in comparison to all the blessings E brings to your life.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hold you in great esteem for being able to life the life you do and still have a great outlook and sense of humor and je ne sais quoi about you.  I wish you the best of luck with E, and the rest of your family, in the future, and I hope you stick around in the Caribbean.

    i actually really fvcking sucks to always worry.  

    and thank you for all of the nice things that you said.  it really means a lot (as pathetic as that may sound)

  • Reading your novel made me tear up a little, and want to go hug my little boy.

    I can only imagine how awful it is to always worry about when the next medical emergency is coming and if you're doing enough to protect / react / etc.

  • So, I think.bills baby girls part it's a little odd. I mean, I remember your screen name, but why, when you have put none of yourself.out.there and she has written a novel should she gtg with you? Like, what's in it for her? Why don't you share a little about yourself top? If she wants to drink.with.strangers she can just like, go to a bar and drink with strangers t hataren't from the internet.

  • Wow. What a story!  I'm kind of in awe of you and your coping ability.  I'm also so happy to hear that E is doing well now.  Thank you for sharing your story.  It's truly inspiring and makes me feel like a total pansy.
