As you all saw, I didn't take my little one turning five very well. I cried the whole morning long! I am not ready for that part of life to be over. Cae said to me this afternoon," There are so many years left! "
It's not the same. I had my firstborn a month after I turned 20. She came along four years later, and I guess part of this is due to having the first so young. Many of my schoolmates are just starting their families. I have many days that I think of having another. It not possible now because we are basically broke, but I like to think there is a glimmer of hope in the future. I have family members that tell me I am too old. Surely I am not ready for the rocking chair, just turning 29 in November. Am I ?!
Many of you have asked about Allison. She is great for now. On the18 we will get more info about her upcoming surgery. Your kind thoughts and prayers will bring us far. I have read the studies about positive thought and prayer on the mind and body of a patient, and I tell you folks it's thoroughly convincing. I don't need a study to tell me that, but it is compelling to see the evidence in black an white. The hospital she will be admitted to has done extensive research into this and they are committed believers in the power of thought.
There is a man (his name escapes me just now) that did a study on the effects of words and prayer on frozen water molecules. Rocked my world, believe it. One batch of water had an excerpt from a book about the Holocaust taped to its jar and angry words were spoken over it. The other was blessed and prayed over, with kind thoughts and positive energy. One was black and murky while the other froze into gorgeous prism like fractals. Guess which? And the body being composed of mostly water.... you dig? So keep it coming from all directions, and if ever you need me I will lovingly do the same. Thinking of Val, Connie and Moonie just now.. you ladies and your health are on my happy thoughts list. Lovins!!

Amazing about that water. I totally believe it, though. I have had the opportunity to live or die a couple of times in my life and I totally believe it was thoughts and prayers that kept me alive. This was a thought-provoking entry. I am sorry you are having a bit of a rough time. Birthdays do that. I had my oldest when I was 20 also. She is such a blessing to me now. She is 18. What a good, good girl she is. Sending love and prayers (((())))

Seems like just yesterday, Cody was 5 yrs old. Today he
is a grown man of 20. Our love for our children never
changes. It's always the same. We can relate to them on
a different level as each year passes. I can sit down and have an intelligent conversation with mine these days....and it makes my heart glad when I see him doing things to help other people. Makes me realize that I did a good job in raising him.
You are NOT too old to have another child! Dont let anyone tell you that! Women have children way into there thirties, and forties even!
Think about it. I wish I had had another child. I will always regret that. I understand the money concerns, I really do...but I think back to when Cody was conceived and realize that we were broke as hell then! And we made it through. You would too! Follow your heart!
Love ya,
Connie
