I have a fantastic family, to healthy kiddos and a great husband. Sure we don't have a lot of money but we have each other and we love each other endlessly and that is all that matters. You are a wonderful amazing woman! I am blessed to know you even if it is only online.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06795203327202286394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520636576141846708.post-10574221491416979742008-08-05T13:56:00.000-07:002008-08-05T13:56:00.000-07:00I love to read your blog.

The normal of being extremely careful where and how you spend your money cause you have so many medical bills coming in, and your other kids still need things like braces, etc. also. The normal of being careful that your child doesn't get sick, or at least too sick. And their b-days are such great milestones. Ashton is almost 11, wow. I've been thinking back alot to 11 years ago, and how much life has changed since then. Just like you said, I've grown a lot, and even though at times it has been very rough, I wouldn't trade it for anything.<BR/>Carolyn H.

I don't comment as much as I should and defintley have not been posting on our blog as much as I should but I do still wonder around on here! haha.<BR/><BR/>The things we have experienced and our families have had to endure most people couldn't imagine. If we didn't have the experience though we wouldn't be the appreciative people we are today!

You are such an amazing family and Rhett is the CUTEST little boy I have ever seen! Reading your blog and others who have children with special needs makes me wish that I could do more to help them. I wish so bad that I was a very wealthy person because I would donate most of my money to helping these special families with medical bills and sending them on vacations. But you're right...none of it really matters. Heavenly Father is not going to care what kind of car we drove or how big our house was. He is only going to care about who we loved and helped along the way. It's reading stories like Rhett's and Charlie's that have really lit a fire within me to go back to school and finish my nursing degree so that I can make a difference in someone's life. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. Always remember that Heavenly Father loves you and your family and if He brought you to it, He will bring you through it.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Almost 4 years have gone by since I became this amazing little boy's mommy. I'm not sure what I did to deserve him, but man, am I glad he's mine.

You do indeed have so much to celebrate and cherish.<BR/><BR/>"...I know that I was not given these trials because I was strong and Heavenly Father knew I could handle it. I was blessed with the trials because he knew I was weak. He knew that I needed to find strength in myself and in my family. He knew I needed to be humbled, and to be shown that I need to lean on Him during my time of need."<BR/><BR/>This really resonates with me more and more lately. You put so gracefully.

Its a little delayed (thanks to hospital visits, surgeries, etc.) but its just as much fun as it was with our heart healthy daughter. Only this time I get to enjoy it more as a stay at home mom! <BR/>Congrats on 400 posts! Hopefully you'll have nothing but "normal" things to post about over the next 400!<BR/><BR/>Tina Walp:0)Tina:0)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10260215878769244185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520636576141846708.post-67016773628245895062008-08-02T19:33:00.000-07:002008-08-02T19:33:00.000-07:00What an amazing post!

As long as you have the love and support of your family, anything is possible. <BR/><BR/>My husband and I were blessed with three beautiful boys. Unfortunately, we lost our youngest son (who had DS) one year ago yesterday, just 18 days prior to his 3rd birthday. We have been fortunate enough to be blessed with financial security but we would give it all up and live in a cardboard box if we could have our little boy back. You are exactly right - we all need to focus on the simple things in life - our Nate taught us that. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your honesty and for reminding us all what is REALLY important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
