Thread: A fathers elation!

Good to here she is doing better. Hang in there and are thoughts are with you.

Its been a little over a year and My little Sandra is fairing well. I might add she is not so little anymore as she is catching up to our middle child Matthew in height. Her scar is just another part of her body to her...it means nothing in other words but for myself it is a serious reminder to pay close attention at all times.

Matthew likes touching her scar and Joshua never pays it any mind but I looked at it for the first time the other day, meaning I saw it clearly with out hiding from it in my mind. It is not pleasant to see especially when you know that your own inattention caused it in the first place but never the less I see it with open eyes. In an odd way it seems to bond us in a manner that isn't there between my older children.

I imagine I will give another update in a year or so.

She climbed that tree for her Dad as much as for herself. Bless her, you and all your family. Thanks for being friend enough to share your pain.

All's well that ends well. My oldest fell down the basement stairs once. Scared the hell out of us. When it comes to the car, either everyone is sitting strapped in, or they are standing in front of the car (at a safe distance of course) where I can see 'em , or the car doesn't move.

A woman in our streets ran her kid over with the car. Right across his stomach. Ruptured liver, but the lining held so he didn't bleed to death. In the end he healed good as new. One inch either way and he would have died from internal bleeding caused by either a crushed ribcage or a crushed pelvis.

Interestingly: ther is a pic of me changing my oldest' first diaper. I had dark brown hair then. In only 2 years, it was grey. 2 years after that, it is a sea of grey.
