Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 For the first time, I have gone through the photos of our children...and added my precious Hannah as well. Our children our so beautiful and beloved. I have had such a terrible day today with Hannah's seizures, the pictures really helped me focus on how much love can do for us. I am attaching a poem I find helpful during our rough times. I hope you all enjoy it. I can't remember where I originally found it, but it says so much about our little ones. Love to all, Mommy to Hannah " My name is . When you look at me, You will measure me ...by my awareness ...by my response ...by my age, ...by my development And you will shake your head and find me lacking. But, for me, you are measuring With the wrong cup. For I have one possession Which brims and overflows Beyond all others. I have my parents' love. This cup they give me holds also their ...agony and helplessness ...waiting and hoping ...tears and pain ...aloneness and fear. But in the end, all these are swallowed up in the deepness of their love Which now, in each same moment, Both lets me go And will never let me go. So measure me, if you must... But measure me, too, with my cup And you will find me Full.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 hi stephanie(and Hannah,) That poem is so very beautiful;and moved me to tears,and reminded me that throughout all the good and bad times they are still our beautiful,precious babies,no matter how bad things sometime get.My daughter has just started the mct version of the ketogenic diet and things are pretty tough at the moment i am finding it really difficult to deal with all the drop fits are really getting me down, plus the fact of having 2 other children(1 with special needs also)to deal with,and them being on school holidays for 6 weeks.Never mind things could be worse,i will end this for now and i hope that both you and your daughter are keeping well,Take Care and God Bless.
