I'm a firm believer that things are put into our lives for a reason - I mean I didn't have difficulty getting pregnant, so why follow a blog about fertility issues? My kids are all grown, so why did I find myself reading a blog on the humor of raising a young family? I don't have anyone in my family dying, so why follow the story of a woman who's husband is dying?
I can't tell you why I followed these Blogs in the beginning or why I stuck with them. Sadly, each of these bloggers has suffered great loss since I first started following them. After successfully getting pregnant and having a baby, the first blogger found out she had cancer. In the other finding out she was pregnant again, this time with twins she lost the first a day before her scheduled C-Section and the other 16 months later to lung failure In the last her husband died 120 days after he was diagnosed and a month later she almost lost her son.
In the last few days it is the woman of these blogs that have kept me going. I don't know any of them, but it is because of them, that I have found strength. Strength to be thankful for what I have, to find the humor in the daily humdrum we call life and to seek out at least one thing from that day, I can be joyful about.
Tomorrow is uncertain and I'll be waiting patiently for a phone call on my pathology report of the biopsies I had on Tuesday.
