My middle son was on life-support for three weeks at nine months old not expected to live. Miraculously, he survived without brain damage. Regret? His illness spurred us to have a third child as we knew if we did not we might regret it, though if we did, we would never regret it. Has it always been easy? No. Has it been worth it? More than I can ever put into words. My family is my life, my love, my pride. I have the gray hair to prove it (and I can dye it anytime I want.)
I feel incredible joy in watching my three boys grow, succeed and do well in the world. Just like labor pains, the lousy stuff fades and the good remains. I am thankful every day for my children and pray we have taught them well. I hope my couch is filled with grand-children’s toys one day.
