Waited about three years, and watched my Son become disabled, before eventually got op, now needs another, other Son went to war in Iraq, and they lost him. Found now safe and sound. Lost my precious Stephen. Mo got Chrones, family got grave's - which is tyroid-lost grandson at nine weeks, marriages, divorces and whatever else life chucks at us - yet we seem to survive - crazy or what, this circle of life.

Gillian there are only two things you can do with what life throws at you - either collapse in a heap and go under, or cope. Coping is what makes you a REAL mother. You are doing fine,coping, even though you may not feel you are. OC
