Choices and choices

I am coming to the last stretch of my honors and now need to decide if i am going to go further and do my MA.

We received news over the weekend that Kirsty will not be going back to work and there is a small chance of Ethan (our unborn baby) being born blind or deaf, not good news.

It does however let me think about so many other families that have children with some or other disability. They seem to cope so well. Speaking to friend tonight she said something that only she could say because their family have been through something similar, her comment; You will get through it no matter what, you will look back and see that you have become stronger because of it. Her experience allows her to say this without sounding patronising. So now we wait and place all thingsin th hands of God.

You are correct Dave, no one can say that they know how you feel unless they have been through somthing like that - we were told that my 2nd daughter could be born blind - we say all these thaings about it making us stronger etc. but the waiting is hell, and you don't know how you are going to handel the situation if the worst happens - i was a heathen then but still prayed..
