Has your life philosophy changed?

[C-n-Imom]

When my son got sick my life philosophy changed. I am much more aware of the importance of living "in the moment". I also try to ask myself "will this matter in 10 years?" or "will I be satisfied or regret the way I handled this after he dies?".Even though my younger son is healthy I still want to keep to this philosophy with him because I think it will make for a happier less stressful life.

Oh, there are things that Isaac will have to do or learn that are not possible or important for his brother, but in general I think living more in the moment will make us a happier family and give both boys a happier childhood.

Nov. 14, 2007 at 7:48 PM You aren't kidding. I had been through hell and high water before things changed for my son. After he got sick, my world seemed to stop for awhile. Like I just couldn't grasp the reality of it all. My attitude with the school changed to. I blurted out at them one day, "leave him the hell alone, he doesn't need to know this stuff anyway." I couldn't stand the way they were pushing him. I feel that he needs to enjoy the most of what he can while he can.
