I grew up in Bellingham!<br /><br />I hope I never have to know what it is like to have a very sick child....both of my boys have each had to have a corrective surgery...and my youngest has a knack for getting himself hurt and needing stitches...but that is hard enough on my heart....I can't even imagine a more intense pain of the heart.....kado!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06376884479035290738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-27772729732285793542009-07-25T07:20:48.341-07:002009-07-25T07:20:48.341-07:00I'm so glad she doesn't need as much oxyge...I'm so glad she doesn't need as much oxygen living here in AZ. That has got to be a big blessing to her. <br /><br />You're right, everyone's perspective of normal is different. It's so heartbreaking to read about sick children. Just kills me. I just finished reading My Sister's Keeper and it broke my heart the whole way through it.tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849649019416902710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-10144494930997136522009-07-24T20:03:09.827-07:002009-07-24T20:03:09.827-07:00What an interesting thought.

We now live w/ a disease that while not life threatening on its own has some doozies in the complications department. <br /><br />I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandson & nephew & yet I rejoice w/ you that your living grandchildren are healthy & well & that your daughter doesn't have to use as much oxygen now. <br /><br />Yep, normal is relative to what/where we all are in this big ole world, isn't it?sues2u2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08393950748230547758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-70023955016942353042009-07-23T21:03:09.746-07:002009-07-23T21:03:09.746-07:00Gramee, thank you for sharing the link to the A-T ...Gramee, thank you for sharing the link to the A-T Children's Project in your post. <br /><br />I am so glad that blogging has brought us together. It has opened my eyes to a whole new way to get to know all about the world thru the eyes of such wonderful women, like you. <br /><br />I am going to paraphrase from Forest Gump..."normal is, as normal does". Now that's not exactly what he said but I think it works. <br /><br />There is no such thing as normal anymore...in fact I suspect that there never has been such a thing. Kind of like the tooth fairy & money growing on trees. ;>Jesmylukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918161685062319534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887107401719970828.post-72838384778507586402009-07-23T17:43:22.833-07:002009-07-23T17:43:22.833-07:00I think in life we strive to find a new "norm...I think in life we strive to find a new "normal" on a daily basis, depending on what gets thrown our way.
