Well for me seeing my children born was certainly the same for me as you . Then there would have to be falling in love and realizing life is simply a beautiful metmorphosis of changes we experience as we grow older.And that aging doesn't mean the loss of love and desire and passion. Life is full of surprises The saddest times in my life would have to have been as a child being sexually abused by my step father. Then would the 13 months I cared for and nursed my mother during her struggle with cancer untill holding her hand watching her take her last breath. There was deep sorrow, as she was mother,she was also my best friend in the world and had helped me through the death Of my best highschool friend as well as loosing several members of my family to senseless murders all within a couple years of each other. In all I have learned and grown from every experience and know that even the saddest points in our lives serve to help us be stronger and they serve a purpose if we just open our hearts and minds and learn from them instead of closing ourselves off from that aspect of the learning process. With each event of my life I have certainly experienced a series of metomorphic changes as a person.
You Are way too Kind.. You have been through alot of emotional stresses in your life as well.. I think we all have.. You have shown remarkable ability to continue cope through ensomnia and other stressfull events that would normally wipe someone like me off the playing field! You continue to plod on and I find that quite remarkable and feel as if you are alot of the glue that holds things together around here.. Always welcoming everyone as well as providing us with humor we all need to get through... and you do this even when you are feeling low and perhaps hurting yourself.. You are a remarkable person! So Please remember that! IT'S YOU that makes the site FUN to explore and learn new things!
The first time I held my children. I knew then what true unconditional love was really about. Before my son was born I remember wondering if I could love a son as much as my daughter. When I held him the first time and he touched my cheek, he stole my heart.Ashleys graduating high school, with honors, and her getting into college was another best of times. Surely, the most amazing of wondrous bonds that only can exist between a mother and newborn child. You carry a child for 9 months and then go through the ' trauma ' of childbirth....and then....when you hold that bundle after giving birth .....and the tears start to flow.....you just know it's a beautiful thing....Wonderful Carolyn...just wonderful !!Another best of times for me was also during one of the worst of times. It was after my business failed and I had tons of legal trouble. I was facing a possible prison sentence and astronomical fines and legal bills. I knew alot of marriages that broke up over much less. I always knew that hubby loved me, but I didn't know if our marriage would survive this. But one awful day he put his arms around me and promised me that WE would get through this and he would stand beside me no mattter what happened. That was probably the moment I knew that my husband was my rock, my best friend, my world. Whate else can I say...except...can I marry him too ?.....This man is such a rare breed.....get him on this forum so he can teach us humanity...Hugs the Corky...luffs the Corky !!The absolute worst of times was the life and death of my sister. She was born when I was 15. She was so beautiful. She was born with multiple birth defects and wasn't supposed to live more than a few days. She lived 7 months. That was the year I nearly lost my mind. Our family was going through what I considered Hell. My parents were on the verge of divorce. I read this book called The Littlest Angel. It was about a child that Roy Rogers and Dale Evans had that was born with downs syndrome. Before the birth of their child, they were going through bad times too. Their baby brought their family back together. I prayed with all my might that we could have a baby like that. She would be what saved our family. When we did, the guilt nearly killed me, literally. I was so jealous of her. She got all the attention and adoration and for a time, I hated her for that. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with her. She was angelic and I still miss her. She had 7 brain surgeries during her short life, and she died in the hospital . I watched my mom fall apart and sink into a shell of her former self. All she did was sleep and cry. I felt tricked and betrayed by God and I just wanted to die. But I didn't, and neither did our family. Carrie would be 25 today, and I still miss her and think of her daily. She did bring our family back together and she continues to bless me.Tears welling up Carolyn !....don't have much to say after reading this except that WE LOVE YOU CAROLYN !!!!Carolyn
