I had a doctor ask we a couple months back how I can stay on top of things with Sydney and all and do it with a positive attitude. I fumbled over my answer, but as I have thought about that question over the last couple months I figured out my answer.
I feel so blessed to have Sydney, our family wouldn't be the way it is today if she wasn't just who she is.
But I know there is a larger picture, I know we lived before we came to earth, and I know we will live after we leave this earth. Sydney has had to endure so many things, but when she leaves this earth, she wont have to do that anymore. That brings so much comfort to me as a mom. We are learning from her struggles and we are growing, but it it my job to help her in every way to enjoy this life no matter what is going on.
When things get too overwhelming I have a Father in Heaven that comforts, guides, and calms my fears. Most of the time that is done through my wonderful family, friends, and amazing ward. I can't fix,or make some things go away, although I wish I could. So many things are out of my hands, so I try not to get dwell on those things too long! We have a wonderful life, we are so blessed, and I find so much joy in my little family!
Oh Karen, you are such an amazing person! I have loved having your example through the years.
