Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 , thanks so much for sharing your experience...what a tragic thing for our children to have lived through. Sometimes the guilt I feel for having been sick almost the entire lives of my childre...its almost unbearable!! All the times I wanted to play ball, or go to the amusement park or take them rollerblading...instead i would have them crawl in bed beside me and read to them...until I fell asleep. Makes me cry just thinking about it.... I guess we both should be thankful we have at least been around to see our beautiful children grow....sometimes its hard to be grateful instead of bitter...Thanks again for reading my poem...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 , Thank you for sharing this with us. It really expresses how I felt during my second cardiac arrest when my daughter found me unconscious in my bedroom. I have always called her " my hero " . She was only 4, but she went and got my husband which saved me. I might have to hold on to it until she is a little older.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 /, I think the most tragic thing would be if you weren't there at all for the children, and I bet they don't think it's a hardship. They have got their Moms and that's what's important. I have felt cold horror when I think about what went throught that night I fibbed out. I just cannot imagine it. I know he saved me that night, and it has cemented us even tighter together than we were before, and we were right sappy then, so we're disgusting now. Had a nurse a couple of months after tell me that Geo probably didn't save me. I suggested that she not ever say that again, and that he better not ever hear her say that either. She got the message.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 You most certainly DID NOT sound ungrateful and I did not mean to make you feel so. I just think we get mired in guilt, and forget that the one's closest to us would not have things any other way. That's what you get for waiting too long on that pink number. Now you have to think up something new to tempt our Bob and Turk with. There's got to be something out there with torn elastic.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Becca, Thank you for reminding me of what really counts. Sometimes...ok all the time, I need to be reminded. I get caught up in the things I can't do. Although I haven't complained too much about not being able to drive a car load of kids on a field trip. Even though I drive all the time, and never have had a episode since my last 5 years ago, I know how I would feel if someone loaded my kids in their car and found out later... I love to read too. I will have to check that out. Both yourself and have such great senses of humor.....just what the doctor ordered, lots of laughter. I find myself chuckling when I read the e-mail. I enjoy your banter online....especially when you get after the boys. Where are the boys anyway? in Vermont Quoting Becca <beccageo1980@...>: > /, I think the most tragic thing would > be if you weren't there at all for the children, > and I bet they don't think it's a hardship.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 Hi ; I haven't cried like a baby in ages. (maybe i have pms with the fool moon LOL) This poem fits soooo much for my seven year old girls. Constantly asking me are you ok dad, should we call the ambulance or so many other things. You're right about the stolen childhood and i hope i can only show them half as much love as they show me they are so beautiful and innocent and i make them go thru this. You hit the bone with that one shawn(as we say in turkey you cut it sooo deep you hit the bone.) I love your poem and i hope we'll read some more of these and get a chance to cry like this and to be honest when it involves my daughters it actually feels good to cry. Thanks for a wonderful poem. Love TURK >From: " healthyhart2000 " <hartofgold1a@...> >Reply- > >Subject: MY HERO >Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2002 05:32:46 -0000 > >Hi everyone!! I hope this finds you all doing well.
