I did a mess, sorry!!<br /><br /><br />Hi Mary, I missed this second post because blog usually has the most recent post at the top and so people don't usually scroll down!<br />Also the explanantion of the photo of you aged 6 is very tiny - at least on my computer!<br /><br />Kids are kids because they don't know what pain or death is and all the kids in the world should feel such innocence and ignorance because it's knowing what pain or sufference or death that makes you an adult. Your motto fits perfectly your experience of life.<br />We, readers, could never know how it feels to spend part of your life at the hospital, as most of us went there only to take home a new brother or sister. When you are a child hospital doesn't scary you, but you grown up it's the most scaring place in the world.<br /><br />Love,<br />AliceAlicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483932659364701368.post-1248047837689851642009-08-01T09:15:01.583-04:002009-08-01T09:15:01.583-04:00Hi, everyone!

I fel...I felt sadness when I read this 1st chapter.<br />I felt how hard it could have been for your father, Amy and your mother. <br />I felt the big and <b>awful</b> contrast between the lottery-winning and the discovery of the illness. <br />I felt how your experience at the hospital could have been awful and hard as a little child. I could imagine the contrast between you singing winter songs and the beautiful weather outside... But finally I admire you because you find a "good" side to your experience as an innocent child at hospital.<br /><br />It was interesting to learn about your illness. I must confess I don't know a lot about it and sometimes it's difficult to find 'easy' informations to read about it that I could understand. I think it was great to explain it as your dad explained it to you with easy words when you were a kid and couldn't understand everything.<br /><br />You wrote a lot about your father but you don't speak a lot about your mother's feelings and what she did when you were ill. I have the feeling that your dad did everything for you and your mother nothing and I don't think it's true, was it? Or maybe we can learn more in the next chapters (??) Please don't feel offend by this negative point of view I know about your relationship with your mother but I think it could be interesting to learn about her feelings too... <br /><br />This chapter is extremely <b>personal</b> and I admire you to share it with all your friends and people who could be concerned and interested. <br /><br />I really feel honored to read it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007601698300812905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483932659364701368.post-44215448304287875412009-07-31T10:55:40.073-04:002009-07-31T10:55:40.073-04:00Great write up Mare!
