It's funny that you actually wrote about this cause a few weeks ago I was watching a show on the discovery channel that followed these two people who had all these health problems and tumors and how it affected them and their families. Though it wasn't about babies, these people were someones child. I cried almost through the whole show cuz not only did I feel bad for them but here I am complaining about how stressful and hard life can be yet my husband and my self have our health and have it pretty easy. I think it's good for us to reflect on these things so we can remember how blessed we are.The Hansonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383068035614747770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835236128276116800.post-64093385271399420592009-11-03T15:14:34.931-08:002009-11-03T15:14:34.931-08:00I totally feel ya on this post.

It was so hard at devastating and now I look back and can't believe how much I complained instead of seeing the blessings. Hind sight is 20/20. Hopefully I will be able to handle future challenges better.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985275414169271347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835236128276116800.post-86675498960451539862009-11-03T13:31:02.580-08:002009-11-03T13:31:02.580-08:00hi.

I know we've been guided and blessed beyond measure. I know I compain a lot, but I think it's kidn of natural for us to complain when hard times roll around. I think the hardest thing is to watch your kids to go through something hard. I wished so many times I could take Anna's place. But I am so grateful for this experience. I know it taught me so many things. It makes you more vulnerable, but also makes you more compassionate and sympathetic. And as you said- it makes you love your child that much more! Thank you for your beautiful post!Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253394825688392150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835236128276116800.post-46907806549956789882009-11-03T10:40:39.843-08:002009-11-03T10:40:39.843-08:00Thanks Kelly for putting things in perspective for...Thanks Kelly for putting things in perspective for all of us.

I remember makimg comments like "thank goodness my son doesn't have that" or "I could never deal with that". With our youngest we have had challanges at different stages, and now we have another one..but you know what. I'm grateful for it because it has helped us as a family and me as a wife and mother. It least whatever comes is with our children/family and we love them so it makes the trial somewhat easier. I just try to remember the scripture that says "when ye have done it unto the least of these ye have done it unto me". I don't know what your friends are going through, bu I am sure that your prayers will help them. You're a great mother and wife. I can see how you have grown and changed reading your posts.<br />Hugs.<br />JudiJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644820597982881818noreply@blogger.com
