I KNOW this will be tough but I also know the WORRY that would have creeped into even the most positive of minds(yours)over the years will be g.o.n.e! And..Cooper will love you even MORE for being such an incredible ROLE MODEL. Julie,I know everyone who knows you says this and that you know it deep down inside but..you are an icredible person on so many levels. I only WISH I could be half the mom, friend, wife, sister warrior that you are.<br /><br />XO<br />Katiekatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173715672214451923.post-44716381474274760202010-05-18T14:53:04.575-07:002010-05-18T14:53:04.575-07:00I started a comment yesterday and never got throug...I started a comment yesterday and never got through it. I got messages via Bob today that everything was successful, and now recovery. You are so strong and so brave - I pray for your continued courage these next few days, which I am sure will be unpleasant. Keep in your heart and mind that you are moving out of the dangers of cancer into a new start.

You still don't ever lose that desire once it's there, I don't think. At least, I didn't. Good luck with your surgery and don't worry about having an only child. My two kids are 11 years apart and my older son has been out of the house for years - my younger son is being raised like an only. I think he's pretty happy. :) Your son will be too - after all, he'll have his mom. And, there is always adoption if you decide to go that route.

I'm not a crier, you know; your post really touched my heart. I imagine part of it is bc we had similar experiences while pregnant and the infertility treatments I've been undergoing. I often worry about all of the hormones I'm given though my body is functioning fine and what they might do to me. Should I do it or not, will this cause me less time with my family in the future, etc. It is something that I pray about often. Knowing that it is out of my control, I have given it to God. Beyond any doubt, you are doing what is best for you and your family. God gave Cooper to you and there was no mistake in His timing. That little guy was meant to be and meant to be with you and Bob as his Mommy and Daddy. If he is to be an only child, then it will be. You never know what God has in store for you and when one really stops to think about all of this, what a glorious ride it is when we accept His will and grace to carry on. I am praying for you--for an "easy" and clear surgery, a quick recovery, and many precious memories spending time with your family while you recover. I am praying for Cooper, that he will roll with your recovery, for Bob and the rest of your family, that they have strength also. I thank our heavenly Father that He has given you such an amazing family and the faith, honesty, and grace that you, Julie, continue to show in your life. God bless!

Just call me your "personal only child expert". It's actually quite a blessing to be an only child. You get all of the attention, fancier family vacations, nicer toys and clothes, etc. You saw what it's like for me and all of these children. It's impossible to give equal attention at all times. I won't sugar coat anything, though. Being an only child is sometimes very lonely. But you can solve that like how my parents did. We took my BFF Angie everywhere! Vacations, sleepovers, etc. She was like my sister. I think she went on every yearly vacation from age 10 and up. Plus, only children learn how to entertain themselves, as you may see in the "Daily dealings of Diana". lol <br /><br />You'll do just fine! I know you'll be sad some, but it's for the greater good, and you know that! ((hugs)) And heck!!! No more period!!

I am so proud of you,actually look up to you more than you know, or more than I admit. And if you really ever wanted another child, trust me there are options you can fulfill that desire to such as adoption..there is always a path that God makes for us. I am always there with you in spirit my friend...I love you so so so much :) now, go and drink some organic beer! lolGabriellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009456619296796756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173715672214451923.post-56980544927406113222010-05-14T06:22:14.440-07:002010-05-14T06:22:14.440-07:00I am continuing to keep you in my thoughts and pra...I am continuing to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
