[QUOTE="completelydrained, post: 742325, member: 23455"] When I think about their childhoods, and all the beautiful memories, all the hope and confidence I had that their futures would be remarkable, because they were both such remarkable, loving, kind, smart, fun people? Sometimes, I wish I could have stayed there for just a little while longer knowing what I know now. Being their mother was the greatest love of my life. The greatest joy. The very best job I ever had. The most meaning and purpose my life ever had. It was a cinch compared to this. And I am so damned lucky to have been given all those moments. I cherish them. I GOT to have them! That is something that no person, no disease, no diagnosis can ever take away from me. That is where my gratitude lives. And it always will whether they remember it or not. I do. I remember it all like it was yesterday. We were so, so happy. Thanks to everyone for sharing in this thread with me. For entering your voices into the mix. For the compassion and understanding, the questions, the wondering, the acceptance. I have so much more to say and I will over the next coming days. But for today, I will spend the rest of the evening watching MY favorite super bowl. The Midterms. Snacks and beverages are ready and so am I. The coffeepot will be doing overtime tonight as we try to stay awake and watch America take Democracy back! love and gratitude to you all! [/QUOTE]
