I hear you! It is so easy to focus on what we don't have... rather than what we do have! Kara-Noels last blog post..Last Minute Easter Craft: Part 2

I am a master at giving people perspective on their lives. And you know what? I hate it. I like to be carried away into the trials and tribulations of snotty noses and dealayed milestones - like sleeping through the night or a tooth that won't fall out or a bully on the bus, etc. Because that is everyday stuff. And even if life gives you a huge dose of perspective, you and I still have to deal with those things. Today, I just also have to deal with a 6 year old who would really like to die so he can see his Daddy again. Tomorrow, I will have to break up a fight over the Wii.

I know exactly what you mean, because we have bumped into the same kind of “perspective” over and over when we seek treatment for J. The NICU, specialists and labs are all filled with families with kids going through much more than we are. It does help you remember to be thankful for what you have and to not take life and health for granted.

At the same time, I know how stressful it is to worry during procedures for your kiddo and any surgery is frightening. Keep us all posted. I’ll be thinking about Z-man, you, and the whole fam. It’s rough for everyone. Hopefully, he’ll be bouncing around like normal again soon.

EVERYONE has the right to complain. Life isn't a contest. Perspective, BLAH BLAH. Zach needing surgery is a BIG DEAL to YOU, and it should be treated as such!!! And it's a big deal to me too, but you know what I mean. heather...s last blog post..Batter Up

Totally hear you on this one. Good luck with the glasses and the bedtime. I think parenting is hard under all circumstances. Some have it harder than others but it's all hard. Redheads last blog post..My unending tears don't even seem enough

I found my own bit of perspective this week - I actually just wrote a post about it. It's ok to still worry about your own trials sometimes we just need a reminder to be happy about all the things that are good. Jens last blog post..Putting Things In Perspective

Every day I read a site written by a man whose son has neuroblastoma. He’s four and he’s had it since he was seven months old. There is no cure. I wonder how I can complain about my kids, when I know what this family is going through. But it’s not the same. We all deal with what we have to deal with. There is no comparison.

On the surgery, I feel for you and for him. But I will tell you, he will be just fine. I know he will because I was fine. I had the same surgery when I was barely three years old. Mostly, I think it was hard on my mom.
