New Hope and Reality
I was just reading another blog of someone I don't know, but feel like I do- who has a very ill child. Although I cannot say I do or ever will know what it is like, I can say that I have empathy of the struggle in a miniscule way. As Christian has been just shy of two weeks symptom free and two days of no anti-biotics I feel a surge of hope that maybe we won't have to live with his illness forever. Which snaps me into reality, we won't have to live without him, either. How can I be grateful in what I have been entrusted, by being generous to give it all away? I want to be thankful for what I have and hold it tightly to me. I don't want to give it away, but I do want others to have what I have. Is this making sense? What is the thing we give? Is it a thing, or is it just the willingness? How do you walk on? When you know you will lose something so dear, I guess it all comes together that it really is all His.

In my life that has been checked with extreme illness and loss of those close to me, I think that it's enough of a lesson just to know to never take anyone- or anything- for granted. Being able to share your experience and being able to empathize with those who have ill children (even those worse than Christian was) is a gift that God gave you. How you lived your life during and after the adversity is your testimony and gift to God (I think).
