Have you ever for even one minute thought about what it would be like to go to collage with your child? No for real… Just think ahead … Your baby’s are getting ready to leave the nest… but you want to hold on to them for dear life…. This is why the Lord has them leave just about the time when you are in menopause or nearing menopause! Sharing a dorm room with your almost adult child when they are busting to get some freedom would be torturous. for you.. I PROMISE, it would not be the party that either of you expected. This I can speak truth to… I am in menopause… I know I am only 31 but the Lord thought ahead so I could help all of my girlfriends out, and so I could gain so sympathy for our mom’s… He I am sure did not think that I would be rooming in with my tween daughter FOREVER… that living in the hospital room is like living in my closet with my daughter with nothing to wear. . But she is sick and I have to be sympathetic and I am really doing my best… I have never known the test of how patient I really could be… I am still learning. I do feel like we have been put in some hot water and left. But us two girls we are getting stronger together… but the poor people around me, hum well lets just say…
I really do feel like my mood is changing from one minute to the next. I feel like with Minnie I need to be extra patient… even when I don’t FEEL like it… This is really stretching me… every part of my whole being…. menopause or no menopause everyday is a choice, I may make the choice to let the day really get to me. I did today, I really did. But I can choose to wake up tomorrow and let the son shine…
I love you. You crack me up! May The Lord be with you and Minnie,Lol. I love the picture of you two and what a great quote. Praying for a fast trip home and open space. Xoxo I will pray also for strength and patience and looking to the sonshine!
It sounds to me like you spent the day advocating for your daughter while also trying to help kids in the future that will be in the hospital. The people around you may not have wanted to hear what you were saying, but who really wants to hear that they are totally screwing up.
Being able to say what needs to be said for your child is one of the reasons I love you!
