But acceptance is definitely a bitch ( wish my Mom were around to explain how she did it). As for my favorite quote: "You get what you get...", Kayla taught it to me; they tell her at day care when she doesn't eat her lunch (which is often). sending my love, <br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355254555437696584.post-50135364032129852632011-08-08T17:09:20.011-04:002011-08-08T17:09:20.011-04:00"I know I'm not the only one". The m..."I know I'm not the only one". The meaning that is left for me is..find the others and<br />see what you can do together. And if they don't wanna,move on. You'd be surprised looking back how your real plans do turn out. So please examine what you want. Dear, I know you'll<br />nost likely have that. Love you so, great story.<br />UncleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355254555437696584.post-56092947282708780332011-08-08T09:37:07.642-04:002011-08-08T09:37:07.642-04:00I think I'm beginning to believe in stories. I...I think I'm beginning to believe in stories. I kind of have to, I know, given my line of work, but stories are the way that we most effectively communicate. Stories are what link us to our past, stories are what bolster us for our future, stories entertain us and nourish us through good time and bad. It is through old stories that we relate to each other, through shared stories that we fall in love, and through new stories that we discover and expand our world.<br /><br />A lot of your "wise" answers require a leap of faith, and not everyone is comfortable with making that leap (I know I'm not). But I do have faith in the power of the shared experience, and through this blog (and face-to-face conversations, and phone gossip, etc) you've been telling your story, and it is tangible and true and in and of itself purposeful. Through telling your story you've made us richer in knowledge and empathy.<br /><br />I won't presume to know what the future holds, but oh, the stories Judah already has about his mother--that is one rich little kid.Amyhttp://amyignatow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355254555437696584.post-53043179790450109872011-08-08T09:29:23.086-04:002011-08-08T09:29:23.086-04:00Mia,
Thank you for posting this, it was very time...Mia, <br />Thank you for posting this, it was very timely, as I myself was having a "why me" weekend. You expressed everything I was feeling and not able to express myself. Now thanks to you I am back to having an "I have MS but it DOES NOT AND WILL NOT have me". You were able to show me that whatever life brings us, we can and will handle it. I am glad I found your Mom on FB and then you, you are one H-LL of a conquerer. <br />Drink l'chaim, to life!Susan Isaacsohn Burkhardtnoreply@blogger.com
