"Opportunities" Revisited
Just wanted to share that my Blog Thought "Opportunities" was published on the Cure CMD website. They retitled it "A Mother's Touch". Find in HERE. Kind of cool!
Hope is the thing that is willing to take a chance on the future. Hope is the capacity to see something on the horizon that we are willing to move toward. If our hope gets us from today to tomorrow, and in that new day we are ready or able to deal with something we thought we couldn’t face, then hope has done its job. There is a worse thing than false hope. It is no hope.
Jack is 13 years old and was born with a congenital muscular dystrophy. As a result of his disease, Jack has severe muscle weakness and is ventilator dependent 24/7. This blog started out as a way to keep family and friends updated on Jack's spinal fusion surgery in the summer of 2006. It has since become a window into Jack's life and the lives of those who love him. Jack lives with his parents, Mark and Ann and his older sisters, Hilary and Mary and his little brother, Eric.
Thank you for riding along with us on our journey.

Awesome, Ann! That was very well written and very enlightening. The paragraph about how he has to wait to be touched, brought tears to my eyes. Such a wonderful thing for you to think about - but a tall order some days, I'm sure.
I'm getting caught up on your blog since I've been hibernating for a while. I hope you missed me! I missed you! Check other posts for comments.
