Almost too hard – thanks for your ongoing support. I still cannot believe this situation but good news is that the niece still in hospital is out now and home and all bodes well for all of the kids’ recoveries. Every morning I wake up with that good news but I also wake up into a fog of uncertainty and anxiety – Ming is faring much better than I am! x
You sound so much like me Julie… I tend to hang on to feelings that have had an impact on me even though time passes…. It’s not intentional that I (we) do so…it just seems to go so far into our very being (soul) that it just is a constant feeling. My prayer for you of course is that soon you will have that peace within that you so need… and I WILL pray for that…. Diane
p.s. you will need to forgive yourself for feeling that if you had been more emphatic in ‘foretelling’ what was going to happen it wouldn’t have happened…. I will confess to you that I blame myself for the enmity between our daughter and us in that if I hadn’t (though accidentally) taken too many sedatives last summer the ensuing blame etc by my husband to her wouldn’t have happened ….and all this hurt that we’re feeling now …just wouldn’t be….. Diane
Julie, It is indeed wonderful that the kids are all on the mend, and will recovery completely. The sidiment you have for Ming is one I share for my daughter and granddaughter. I hope when Ming has his day in court the judge will look favorable on him. He truly is a good person. Take care, Bill
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 – New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
What will be, will be, Julie.
Worrying won’t change the outcome.
I’m so glad to hear the niece is out of hospital and recovering well. It must be a big relief to all the families concerned.

I was feeling a bit sentimental yesterday ha!
I know he knows this to be true!
He better!
Love never fails. 🙂
Yup!
powerful sentence, If I was Ming I would treasure this forever
He’ll probably vomit – hahahahaha!
hopefully not!!!
Just big hugs, big loves, and waves of strength to you – so that you can be there for your baby boy.
I know you know – thank you.
You’ve said all that needs to be said Jules. And you both are in my thoughts and prayers….much love
Thanks anon!
Of course you do.

Huge relief – a bit trickly but should pour soon!
Beautiful.
He has been a rock.
Sounds like you both are.
This has certainly been a monumental rough patch! I’m glad things are starting to look up!
So am I!
This is something I think most mothers can relate to, we don’t know what it is like to have unconditional love till we have a child
Yes!

Sometimes I wish we had had more than one kid – poor Ming is probably overloved haha!
Some thing a Mother needs to tell her son every now and then…
I am sure that he knows that Julie
Your unfailing love and support are what Ming needs the most, Julie. xx
hands down this is the best post I have ever read ((((hugs)))))
Don’t you just want to squeeze him sometime?! I squeeze and hug my guys a lot – I love them so much! 🙂
Wow, Julie…this is beautiful
