This past Monday my newlywed and no newly pregnant daughter found out that her baby will be born with CF. Although it was painful to read about our loss, your words at the end gave me the inspiration to enjoy this baby, and all of the joy he will bring us, every minute of the day. My words of encouragement to my daughter is to stop worrying about the end and focus on the love this child will bring to our lives for however long he can. I will share your blog with her. I am hoping she will start a blog of her own as it can only help other families that are coping with CF. Please feel free to read about our family at http:wonderfilledlife.blogspot.com. Your family, and especially Conner, are in my thoughts and prayers.A Family 2 Care 4https://www.blogger.com/profile/11879280137028759672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753922795485552054.post-73737711260518942872010-08-26T08:11:24.930-07:002010-08-26T08:11:24.930-07:00Thinking of you, always.

You always take me to some place visually like a good book does. I'm sad that this story is so heartbreaking and not fictional. I wish 3 didn't symbolize a loss or that there is in fact nothing one can say to help. However, I read and hope that every time you write some weight of the day is lifted.

I watched my mom lose her first born son 2xs and the change in her, the lose of my father another change, the lose of her 4th born another change, the lose of her greatgrandson another change and the lose of a grandson yet another change. I have watched the change when a great grandson was diagnosed with CF at the age of 2 wks and now the change when another great grandson at the age of 5 has been diagnosed with leukemia. The changes that this things have brought into our lives as individuals and as a family. Forever changed! <br />I am so so sorry for your lose. Grieve in any way you have to and for how ever long you have to. Thank you for sharing your pain with others. No one knows your pain unless they themselves have experienced it. Know that I am praying for God to continue to hold you & your family and to continue to comfort you all.<br />love to you<br />Betty AnnOma & Opahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162962949691196355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753922795485552054.post-79809269637239501892010-08-24T09:03:07.064-07:002010-08-24T09:03:07.064-07:00So sorry Sarah...

Last night I was talking about the unreal...I teach. Last night I was talking about the unrealistic expectations of others from people who have profound loss. Whether it is a sole survivor of a car accident, the loss of a child to a tumor, a suicide, a combat fatality. I was all revved up with these company leaders about the insensitivity and down-right hurtful comments that we often make -- comments like you mentioned in your blog. I've done my fair share of grieving but have plenty ahead. I've done plenty of grief counseling of others. But if there is one thing that class took away from me last night, it is never to expect a person to be "the old you" that a person was prior to a profound, indescribable, heartbreaking loss. Your words echoed in my mind as I spoke. I believe we impacted 42 people last night.Sloppy Joes (Kim's Commentary)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09542513458487561967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753922795485552054.post-17853338409929928582010-08-24T08:31:27.166-07:002010-08-24T08:31:27.166-07:00I don't remember how I found your blog and lea...I don't remember how I found your blog and learnt of Conner's battle with CF. I ache for you and your family. Especially for you. I live in your town, you look familiar and I wonder, did I ever stand with you and your 3 sons in a grocery line, or at the bank or passed you in a store. Did I get to share a smile with you over the antics of your 3 little men and tell you that they remind me of my grandsons....most likely it is just wishful thinking that we've met. <br /><br />I'm so very sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling. You are often in my thoughts and prayers.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726146878020199262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753922795485552054.post-19567557446294409002010-08-24T06:56:11.141-07:002010-08-24T06:56:11.141-07:00Hugs, lots of them.
