shrinkage

[Brett's Honey]

As far as "there's always someone worse off than you", I know exactly what Smurf means, but I cannot put it into any better words either...but when my daughter was terminal at 2 1/2, after a 13 mo. battle with childhood cancer, whenever I was at my lowest "why me / poor me" place, I would always run into someone I felt was a little worse off than me.
At one low point while spending one of many weeks in the hospital - Sheena was about 19 months old and having a week long chemo treatment, I ran into a 21 yr old girl who had a 3 yr. old daughter who had brain cancer and a 6 mo. old son having open heart surgery. One kid was on the 2nd floor, the other one on the 4th floor on the other side of the big hospital. The young mom was running back and forth trying to take care of both her kids all alone.
Those kind of things did always seem to happen when I was at my lowest.
I am so sorry for how you're feeling, Bri. It SO SUCKS!
We're here, please stay strong for yourself and your son. And DO keep us updated often, please!
