My life has changed so drastically and so suddenly that it's hard to process. Just over a month ago I was thinking that this May I would have a new baby, work a couple days a week and my husband was going to take time off from going to school to help out, NOW, Tyler is to be an only child and I left my job so that my husband could go to school full time. What the hell is going on!? I have been pregnant 6 times and Tyler is my only living child - why can't I have babies like everybody else!? What did I do that was so wrong!?
I have been trying to find the positive side of this, like having more money and more time. I've also been trying to find my old self, the one who didn't even really even want kids, the one who was more brave and adventurous, but after spending nearly a decade with my total focus being to have babies, I've lost myself in that pursuit. Unfortunately, I think it's going to take some time to bring myself back, and even if I do, I still won't be quite the same - sadly pain changes people -
Well, if what they say is true then I have 5 angels waiting for me in heaven, so by that mentality I must be somebody pretty special for God to choose me to have his angels. But sadly I don't feel this way, I feel almost the opposite, like I must be such a horrible person that God is punishing me by taking my children away ....well.... I guess I must not be completely terrible since I was blessed enough to at least have Tyler! He is such a good boy and becoming such a smart little guy - he can even read some small words! Which is just incredible to me! -My super smarty! He too has had a ruff time recently, he went from having a cold at the beginning of November to being sick again mid November with 2 ear infections and a sore throat (possibly strep, but we didn't test since he was already getting antibiotics) then just days after he finished his antibiotic, he was sick again, this time it was for sure strep - Poor boy!
Anyway, to sum it up, it's been a ruff year at my house - I just pray that next year is better!
Sweet Theresa, my heart aches for you. I wished so much that this would work out again for you. Losing a child could never be easy...12 days, 12 weeks, 12 years...it all sucks. I am so so sorry.
