I wear the same thing two days in a row....somedays I don't even get dressed. Facebook is my friend, my link to the outside world and adult conversation. I don't even feel guilty....most of the time. It's good to know there are other people living parallel lives.<br /><br />DixieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-40206588518856299062010-02-10T14:36:30.683-08:002010-02-10T14:36:30.683-08:00Just saw the new blog design, GREAT!!!!

How can we say we enjoy reading your blog when the story is so sad; but I completely understand. Our family has also experienced an accident in which my grandson; at the age of 2, was hit by a pickup truck and suffered 5 skull fractures. I truly understand the saying that something good comes from somethnig so sad. I pray for Aviana every day and share your story with family and friends whenever possible. I also pray for you and your husband and family. But I know you have already grown in ways you would never have dreamed of before. I hope you feel the prayers and well wishes from all of the wonderful people who follow your story. Your are a special family.

And since you don't like to compare who's in "more" pain, and you want others to still come to you (albeit I'm not a friend of yours, but an avid blog follwer), your post made me want to confess myself. . .I too have confessions to make that I'm not proud of. I also have a few that have been squelched after reading yours. You continue to remind me that we are human, that we should live in the moment. Thank you for sharing your life, confessions and all!momwithfaithandhopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777834578467508226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-58015944083138705752010-02-09T19:42:39.676-08:002010-02-09T19:42:39.676-08:00I wear the same stuff all the time!

I was going to say that you are an UNEXPECTED BLESSING to my family!!! I love reading your posts...they are so real and so inspiring. I wish I could be half the mom you are. I wish I could come to the point where I am not as selfish and would be willing to do anything and everything for my sweet Tessa. I'm so overwhelmed...I'm not there yet...I wish I could say that I'm not the one stopping us from going to the Institutes, but I am. I wish I didn't feel so horrible about it. Maybe someday I will be less selfish...I'm so glad you aren't like me!!! God knew that Avi would need someone as amazing as you!!! I will continue to pray for you and your strength!!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533748843004130134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-49835154321615240522010-02-09T12:05:11.318-08:002010-02-09T12:05:11.318-08:00I, too, feel that pain is pain.

There is no way to measure who's is more or who has it easier.... other than one woman who sissy heard a few months ago say in Target "I'm so tired I just want to DIE!" Sissy said "get cancer, you'll never say that again!" THOSE people irritate me :) <br /><br />And I love (well, not LOVE, but appreciate) everyone else's problems, ESPECIALLY the trivial ones (from my friends) because it does help take my mind a tiny bit away from my life.Cameohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815107970059019435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-53818177339898990932010-02-09T08:26:45.739-08:002010-02-09T08:26:45.739-08:00Jen...I can so honestly say that YOU and YOUR fami...Jen...I can so honestly say that YOU and YOUR family have been a very unexpected blessing to ME!! You honest words inspire me to be a better mom..really they do...and your words and insight also make me think that maybe, just maybe, because of you...that I could possibly be as strong and brave as you have been through this journey. YOU are a blessing and I thank you for sharing ALL of the 'good, bad and ugly' with your new found 'stranger friends'...for letting US into your lives as well!
