[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 11594, member: 1697"] I was just thinking cuz I was posting at another site about something---- My son. His eye. For the last 14 months, very often we have spent as much as 3 days a week at the teaching university 5 hours away cuz of his darned eye. we have known since his last surgery last march that there was no hope of saving the vision. At that point my son wanted to docs to remove his eye. His reason? He is more than just an eye. There is a whole life out there to live. He is missing the here and now and Life is moving along while he sits in the hospital. He is frustrated and wants to move on. "stop trying to fix me, I am fine just how I am, but you are making me miss life and I cannot get back this time" Truth is, yes, he has learned to live in spite of the problem......His eye surgeon is hyperfocused on just his eye and not remembering there is more to life. THats what made me say stop and smell the roses. Not just you but also kt and wm. Yeah I spilled my um.....dark past here..but-------while it does sometimes come bite me......most of the time, I have learned how to live life anyway. Kids especially are more resilient than we might think. and more adaptable and flexible. There is a whole world out there and they might want to be part of it. Maybe not.I do not claim to know-----just food for thought. [/QUOTE]
