I get it... No matter what's going on, all Mackenna needs to do is smile, and it's all in perspective....
Even her last time in the Hospital, when I was at the end of my rope, she'd smile as if to say "Daddy I'm happy, it's gonna be OK" -----Original Message----- From: denstar [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2010 3:47 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: so much crying. I have enjoyed every moment, even if some of the moments haven't been super-cool. Even in the hospital, time and again, I was like, "how freaking lucky I am". But I can rationalize like crazy, so it's easy for me to think, "it can always be worse". Thus I'm always grateful, even when things suck. Not that it doesn't make things not-suck, but still, it helps. Takes the edge off, I guess. Really tho, I look back at myself holding my wee one on the hospital bed, she being near death, and me being pretty happy (or something like that... "happy" doesn't quite convey it), even so. Emotion is such an interesting deal. :Den -- He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?
