It was extremely dicuifflt for me to understand what my child experienced during her turn on the exam table .but my heart reached out to want to embrace and protect her. I did what I thought was right and listened as the specialist physician candidly and carefully spoke to our parental questions. I encouraged my child to ask any questions and express any concerns even though I realized that the moment was too big for her and the overwhelming fear of being associated with her anatomy and not her soul was consuming her.Later in the car on the way home, I quietly listened as my sweet child wept openly in the back seat of our car about the tragic enigma of her life .and at such a young age .while my wife tenderly listened and consoled her. why did God make me this way?! I don’t want to live like this! . Now I was silently crying too as I carefully winded my way through the rush hour traffic. She is too young to have to embrace this challenge.But maybe Jen is right and she is stronger and braver than I can imagine. Its me who I have to make sure is ready first.
Thank you for your courageous comments and dedication to your child. Kids have a way of opening our eyes to many things, including accepting their challenges in life with a positive attitude. -ATJ.info
