I still after almost 15 years go into my daughters room and wake her up.<br /><br />And when I have to I find myself Standing outside the door, listening, knocking and listening again for reassurance that it is safe to enter.<br /><br />Each day my wife phones to let me know all is OK at home, it has become a ritual, a safety net to help each day to pass without that nagging fear that today may be the last time you get to hold your child.<br /><br />I know it is crazy, yet I still find myself unable to sleep Until the small hours of the morning.<br /><br />We watch our children grow, develop, and blossom as the fragile health drops away and they bloom into young adults. Yet I still can not let go of the daily fear. <br /><br />Thank you for your great blog.colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877500664617472359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794485431191324681.post-21674433761810640942009-04-29T23:57:00.000-04:002009-04-29T23:57:00.000-04:00"I can stare back at those eyes.

I came to accept that the worst might happen at any moment, but I still feared it. Of course after 6 surgeries, you have so much more experience with this than I do. You and Willa are due for some blessings.TUChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929114678006935831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794485431191324681.post-5077161804832167552009-04-29T18:16:00.000-04:002009-04-29T18:16:00.000-04:00hiya

We do not have to be held captive by fear or sadness. We can experience them fully and grow richer from having been in their shadow.<br /><br />I admire and respect your strength :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
