I find myself writing this and feeling very ashamed as I read some of the posts. I have been feeling so down lately-feeling so sorry for myself! When Lee initially had the very poor prognosis, I only prayed that he could be here to watch our son grow up. Now that he is doing better, I find myself so sad for all the things he is now missing-speech and swallowing. Thanksgiving was so hard and sad, and Christmas doesn't seem the same at all. I miss our old life together so much-everything is so different and always will be. But after reading Tonya's post, I realize that we are fortunate to have Lee here and I am grateful that I have this forum. I guess I was originally writing to whine a little, and now I feel blessed. Thank You and forgive my selfishness.
