Mason is in the process of learning a complex piece of information, ie you are well but you might get sick again.<br />He is learning so many things like the daylight is followed by the dark and then the same cycle predictable and constant things like right and wrong, good and not good etc. Trying to understand the future of mommies health is like trying to walk across quicksand. In my simple way of trying to understand children I think of each child being born with an empty tool box and as they progress through life they aquire tools to cope with the reality of life, one of the toughest problems to cope with is the uncertainty of life itself. As you help Mason deal with this remember to keep it honest, not harsh or not unrealistically soft, just the gentle truth. Remember his toolbox is still pretty light in the coping area. As for keeping your blog going I understand what Ed is saying, this phase of life is finished and you don't want to wallow in a pity-pit. Another way to look at it is you have contributed some life growth lessons that are not available any where else and with your healing there comes "the rest of the story". Those of us who shared this journey with you will also see things differently. You know how when you go to have your eyes tested the Doctor rotates lenses through machine and asks "is that better or is this better, is that sharper or is this sharper?" All of us will view this as the trip of a courageous young Mom who showed us how to cope with the depth despair and the summit of hope, and all the "qwap" that lies in between. My love to you and your courageous little band of Clarnos. pat&magPatrickvashonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274683018276383897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646746441118968981.post-13248211798121058752009-08-02T16:45:06.398-07:002009-08-02T16:45:06.398-07:00Though I am a virtual no one to you, I have been e...Though I am a virtual no one to you, I have been enjoying your blog since my wife pointed it out to me. I am a stage 3 colon cancer survivor, and blogged regularly throughout 2007. You are truly an amazing and busy woman! However, I want to chime in from the other side in that I have found blogging to be an "extra" task that I didn't want to create time for after the end of chemo and recovery. I keep it alive for those that want to read about colon cancer, but rarely contribute to it anymore. That was my "cancer" life and I now have a non-cancer life to live. You should feel the freedom to do the same...Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849582699313899015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646746441118968981.post-69358891186623787282009-08-02T12:54:09.690-07:002009-08-02T12:54:09.690-07:00OMG!

I am constantly amazed at your energy and thoughtful ways of caring for your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you daily and I too would miss your blog if you don't write. Being as far away as I am from you and your family, I really appreciate keeping up on what's happening in your life.<br />Love you, JudiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646746441118968981.post-70052873231777935532009-08-01T08:10:47.902-07:002009-08-01T08:10:47.902-07:00Holy cow...I am exhausted just reading this post! ...Holy cow...I am exhausted just reading this post!
