Ive desided not to focus on the negative

[Guest guest]

First i want to thank all who responded to my question about Writing

letters to children. And to say that i respect everyones opinion on

the subject, but after thinking about it i have desided that its

just more negative then i want to be. I dont want to focus on the

negative of this surgery. I am aware of them and no what can happen

and have (still am) educating myself but i dont want to dwell on

what the worse can be.

Apon finding out that i was pregant with each of my shildren i

started scrap books for them. I wrote down my feelings about

carring them and giving birth and later a paraghraph (sometimes

pages lol) here and there about being their mom as i watch them

grow. I also have added things from their life - my daughters first

lost tooth, clippings from my sons first haircut, and things like

that. I have also over the years put in newspaper clipings and stuff

about world happenings and signifigant things that happen. So i

think what i will do instead of the letters is add a few pages to

their scrap books including things like a entry from me about my

dession and my jorney and how great its going to be when mommy is

able to take them to " surfin' safari water park " and stuff like

that . I may also include some stuff about the surgery. I just

feel that this is a much more positive way to look at this beause it

is a rebirth and i want to focus on the life after that rebirth.

Again thanks all who answed me. My prayers to thoose haveing

surgery and thoose recovering.

Becky - It sounds like you are looking at things with a really positive attitude

now and that's great. You may waver every now and then about whether you made

the right decision, so keep your positive emails so you can reread them when the

doubts creep back in. Good luck with everything. Summer always flies by so

fast that your consult will be here before you know it.
