Difficult Questions
So we were at a football game last night and K pointed out that when she gets older she will have two hands like all of us. It was hard. It was so hard. I had to keep from losing it right there in the bleachers when she said those words. We are expecting another child in March, but that question brought concerns and questions about what it will be like when this baby boy comes into the world. Will our daughter resent the fact that he has two hands and she has one? Will she be able to jump rope like everyone else? How will she ride a bike? What do we do? I sit here crying as I write this because it hurts. It hurts so bad. I guess I don't know what I am looking for, but it has been easier to cope with this when she was unable to do many things because of age. Now she is so much more aware of everything. We need prayer more than anything else.
