[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 269645, member: 1514"] Nancy....I cant say that I learned to stop letting these things hurt me because they still do hurt. Every time I think about the fact that I never got to see the normal events with Cory I feel a stab in my heart. It does hurt. It hoovers that I never got to see him dress up for Prom or watch him walk across the stage to graduate. The only picture I have of him in a cap and gown is when he was 4 and graduated Head Start. Funny how I saved that picture and cherished it so much. I must have had a premonition that it would be the only time I would see him dressed that way. These kids can stomp on us, abuse us, and really wear us down. But somewhere deep inside we never stop wanting the best for them and whenever we see even the tiniest glimmer of progress for them, our hearts start beating with rekindled hope. We are moms. Its what we do. Even if our kids are out of our homes we will always love them and be worrying about them even if it is all bottled up inside. Sometimes the only way we can show our love is to keep telling them we know they can do it. That they have to do it out in the real world without us but that we have faith in them. And then we cry in our pillows. I love my kids. I have been so terrified for my kids. Sometimes all I can do is watch from the sidelines as life takes them and I cant do a darn thing about it.
