I just found your blog a week ago and your...Hi! I just found your blog a week ago and your writing is lovely. So honest and heartfelt and resonates with me each time I read an update. My son, Henry is 13 and was diagnosed a year ago. We have a lot of support and yet I still break down in tears frequently and often feel swallowed up by sadness because my son has to deal with so much responsibility on a daily basis when his peers remain carefree. My son is doing quite well and it seems I think about the unfairness of it all more than he does! <br /><br />Mama strength? It sure seems like you have plenty but I know I just have to watch Henry and I gain strength...watch him do a finger poke, watch him endure a shot I've given that was less than stellar, watch him decide to eat some cheese or nuts when he wants a snack but doesn't need a lot of carbs. We have some rough days but he does so many things right that it makes me strong and I look to the good things that may come from our struggles.<br /><br />Your stories are wonderful, keep writing! -LindaLibrary Resourceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09645610461173420508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219375204869730911.post-47373596308885520692010-05-13T00:11:52.291+01:002010-05-13T00:11:52.291+01:00Jules,

Thank goodness you have such a supportive husband to lean on most of the time. When I need extra strength, I get it from chocolate, too much coffee, and paring back to the very minimum I need to do so I can focus on just being in the moment. I'm sending you lots of virtual hugs and a shoulder to cry on and thinking of you as you make your way through this week!Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004349018085389442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219375204869730911.post-39686182073254450682010-05-12T19:42:43.639+01:002010-05-12T19:42:43.639+01:00That's a great photo! Lovely that you and you...That's a great photo! Lovely that you and your husband are both able to take a break now and then; it is so necessary.<br /><br />As for manufacturing mama strength, well, sometimes I just break down and cry right along with my 10-year-old daughter. It lets her know that it's okay to crumble sometimes.<br /><br />But as Meri said, chocolate works too. ;)<br /><br />Hang in there.shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895190983814591749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219375204869730911.post-79808879322172726282010-05-12T18:56:22.111+01:002010-05-12T18:56:22.111+01:00You made me cry with this post, your sons comment ...You made me cry with this post, your sons comment just breaks my heart and I so feel for you! I wouldn't have been able to hold back the tears on that one.<br /><br />My daughter has said some things that have just broken my heart with her sadness, so sad that our kids carry such a heavy burden with this disease. My only advice is giving him lots of hugs and unconditional love...which you are doing already.<br /><br />As far as making mommy feel better...blogging helps me LOTS, that and like Meri said, Chocolate :) <br /><br />(((HUGS)))conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365385305270234889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219375204869730911.post-21480051935533706292010-05-12T18:42:12.282+01:002010-05-12T18:42:12.282+01:00Aw, I'm so sorry.

I hope you get lots of comments today and virtual hugs. We've been there. Such a heartbreaking moment, and those are even tougher when you aren't well rested.<br /><br />I hope tonight goes better and you can get some sleep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219375204869730911.post-53846014938378723912010-05-12T16:52:35.321+01:002010-05-12T16:52:35.321+01:00We can't take away the tears. We can only let...We can't take away the tears. We can only let them know how much we love them, and you are doing an amazing job at that. <br /><br />Chocolate always makes me feel better, but I wouldn't recommend it, my figure isn't what it should be...I eat A LOT to get through. :)<br /><br />((HUGS)) to you! You are doing a great job!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219375204869730911.post-79115503054769393572010-05-12T13:34:55.208+01:002010-05-12T13:34:55.208+01:00What a great photo!
