As few may recall I have a child with cerebral palsy, legal
blindness, kidney failure in the past which almost lost her and her
older sister who has survived now 6 years past thank god, cancer. I
being a single mom most of their lives have learned to (rough it)
and we've come along way in many ways besides economics...Although
Sammy can't walk, sit nor even reposition her self she is a joy.
When she was 6 years old I sat with her along shore the beach while
watching her then 9 year old sister toy with gulls, she said " aaah,
mom this is the life" I looked to the sea with her and then at my
ayla whom was due for over 1/2 her pancreas and several lymph nodes
removed in 2 weeks. I replied " it sure is my little pumpkin pie"
I hope no offense was there and didn't see that article in that
light, what was delivered for me was you get out of life what you
put in and happiness can be found at any level once accepted. AND
your not spending on yourselves your spending in on EACH OTHER. In
that it is not ones buissness but yours :D
