March is when we decided to place her feeding tube, when her seizures started, when I brought her home different than when I took her in.. I let her seize all night trying to take care of her myself, because I knew that she would be readmitted, and she was to ICU..I should have taken her sooner..and to top it off, C will be 10 on the 30th.. 10.years.old.. he has wanted a sibling since he was 4, and I can't even provide him with one to keep.. so..yeah. I guess I do realize its March..just a few months shy of May..when my world fell apart..
I want so much more than to go through the motions forever.. I want to not be numb. I want to care about what people are saying, what people are going through.. I want to smile and MEAN it.. I don't want to be envious of every family with a baby or toddler around the age Ella should be.. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

((hugs)) I have nothing that will make you feel better or take your pain away. Giving you a big hug and thinking of you!
Just letting you know that I hear you.. and I fake smile every day too... but one of those days I smiled and really felt ok... It only lasted a moment but I'll take it.
I feel the same way. I try not to be but just can't help to have those feelings within.
