'THE RIPPLE EFFECT' and HCV - Tina

[Guest guest]

Hi Tina

I am one of those strange creatures from Mad Magazine, that sits around all day and ponders. LMAO :-)

Some folks call it being analytical - looking for every connection to a topic.

Im guilty as charged, but I love thinking outside the box.

What you say is true about the young - we were all blind immortals once.

This is necessary, because we should all begin our lives with a clean slate.

I believe as one loses their immortality, one also loses their blindness.

As we lose our blindness we gain wisdom.

As we gain wisdom, we also gain spirituality, and different kind of immortality.

We pass on our wisdom to the next generation, thus in a way, live forever.

Thus the 'Ripples' spread outwards.

Your daughter will do just fine with HCV TX, and her inner growth.

She has someone who loves her, and is very wise on her side, to guide her.

Thank you Tina, for sharing your thoughts with all of us.

It really means alot.

love

Hello Don, Cinder , Gloria and all others!

Don….I want to tell you that this post today affected me more than any I have read. As I said before I am a Mom and my 23 year old daughter suffers from Hep c. She is presently on treatment..etc. What I wanted to say to you is that today your post has hit the nail on the head with what I am feeling about my daughter. It is so sad that in life we must experience all this pain and ruin many lives before we realize that it could have all been different. The human race is just so predictable. When we are young we know it all, we are fearless. Our parents try to help us learn from their mistakes but usually it never happens. In life we must suffer the bad to find the good. Hearing your words gives me hope that someday her eyes will be wide open and she sees more than her own suffering. Right now she is young

and full of drama and cannot see the ripple effect of her actions. She only knows she is in pain. I often tell her that I pray she never experiences what we have had to deal with as parents. It is God’s cruel joke. He gives us the power of choice yet we all too many times choose what we know is wrong. I am always in the background reading all of your posts, everyone out there. Some of you stories are painful and then there is that one flicker of hope that I read in between the lines. To all of you I say that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Someday perhaps the cure will come for all and not just a select few. I pray for my daughter to be one of those lucky ones. Time will write the ending of our stories but for now we can only live chapter by chapter. Thank you all for your outpouring of honesty.

Hugs and prayers for each and everyone out there.

Tina
