H...What an amazing mother you are to little Manny. He is one very beautiful boy. Your blog today reminded me of what a friend once said to me, "God doesn't give us more than we can handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much." <br />People will say stupid and inappropriate things. I just wrote about this to a Facebook friend of mine to vent about our experience. We suffered a very devastating loss last year. Some people said things like "nature makes mistakes" and "you can always have another" to us... horrible things to hear from ignorant people. We considered the sources and left it at that. <br />You are on an incredible journey. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865733752789195615.post-17058827676087976602010-05-28T20:19:51.820-04:002010-05-28T20:19:51.820-04:00Oh!!!!! How much those comments must have hurt. I ...Oh!!!!! How much those comments must have hurt. I remember when we first had Georgia (in China still) she was VERY sick (could have died at any moment with a Tet Spell which she was having all the time). There was a guy in our travel group who would come over every time he saw us and loudly say, "Oh is she one of those blue babies...she doesn't look good...will she die?" I am not kidding you. EVERY time the group got together he would do this and I never knew how to answer so I would steel myself for it and then cry afterwards because the reality was yes, she was a blue aby and yes she could die and I was deeply scared...and deeply leaning on God too. Lean into Him, you CAN fall off the tightrope...He will not allow you to be crushed or 'snuffed out'. Let yourself be carried sweet woman. <br /> I am praying for you!<br />ShannonShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737004644851988877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865733752789195615.post-24567048013568314792010-05-28T16:15:20.762-04:002010-05-28T16:15:20.762-04:00Our family is praying for Manny and for you!

You are an amazing mother, Beth. Manny knows how much you treasure him adn he is not alone. You are a true inspiration to us. We are first-time adopters - a special needs child from the Ukraine. We will keep you all in our prayers.Envyshopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145918060785765654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865733752789195615.post-38185169569372158742010-05-28T12:14:44.926-04:002010-05-28T12:14:44.926-04:00oh mannah.

I am so sorry you have to go...Hello My dear friend. I am so sorry you have to go through all this. He is such a precious baby boy and I know you love him very much. I understand a little of your pain when my son was diagnosed with cancer I thought life would never be the same again. God and our family saw us through the tough and good times. You have so much more strength then you realize...You and your family are such dear sweet people. I am praying for you all.. <br /><br />Sherriesherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093990658578010167noreply@blogger.com
