I am ...Ahhh ladies, you are both a blessing to me. I am so grateful for your kind and understanding words. I shared this on my public blog as well, and the responses there were slightly different. I had a few telling me to be more upbeat, and not worry as much. I figured that it's easy for them to say. I love having my fellow cysters who just totally understand.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857757026387771028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487045040107348491.post-83021726322756897842012-01-18T19:53:28.582-06:002012-01-18T19:53:28.582-06:00I don' think you should ever apologize for the...I don' think you should ever apologize for the way you feel because your feelings are valid. Honestly, I think every CFer that ever existed can relate to your post. I completely relate in so many points. <br /><br />I feel the same way about children. If I didn't have CF I would have 4 and would never ever consider having an only child. I am overjoyed I am having a girl (which is what I secretly always wanted), but had to grieve over the fact that I will never have a son. I too get down about all the things I would do IF it weren't for CF. <br /><br />Feel sad, cry, be angry and know that it is okay to feel all emotions in life. Your negative feelings need to be let out so that you can let positive feelings in. If you need to write 30 posts that are sad to get the weight off your chest, DO IT! Do whatever you need to feel better because that is all that really matters.Inhaling Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10487999036810367535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487045040107348491.post-48384742402032462992012-01-18T10:53:13.804-06:002012-01-18T10:53:13.804-06:00Oh man, Megan...

And the funny thing is, I know that if CF weren't a factor, I could do it. I'm terrific with kids and have a lot of experience with taking care of a lot of kids at once. I guess that's one of the ironies of life!<br /><br />I definitely have these moments too, where I just feel overwhelmed with all that it seems like CF has taken out of my life. I think it's a natural part of the disease, and I applaud you for being honest about your feelings even when they aren't fun. I hope that the "funk" ends soon! I'm going to try to get you a letter this afternoon. :)cindy baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173344689280406987noreply@blogger.com
