Although that was a very traumatizing experience for all of you it could be something that you had to go through. We make choices and there are consequences good and bad from those. Whether it is good or bad we will learn something from it. Whenever I get sick and think life is hard I think back to the times I was pregnant with Jackson and had to take care of Charlotte. There were two days I remember that were the worst. I could only stand long enough to run to the bathroom and puke. I don't know if it was pregnancy or I caught something but those were my worst days ever. One of those days I had bad round ligament pain too which was some of the worst pain I have ever felt. Scott of course had super busy days at work (14+ hrs) and was able to come home for a couple minutes and give me a quick blessing to try to make it through the day. I felt like I had abandoned Charlotte those days and she was left to fend for herself a lot. Anytime I have a rough day with the kids or I'm sick and they seem needy, I think back on those other days and realize, I can do this. I made it through that, I can totally handle this. And kudos to you with Brynlee at the birthday party. Charlotte is the same way. She was actually fighting with me and Scott one day on the way home from SLC because she wanted another pet and I said no. She has never been to a bday party that wasn't someone in our family so if she ever gets invited to one, hopefully she'll be older and grown out of that stage!
