Face to the Sun By Hikari Nell

As some of you know my son has been hospitalized off and on since September 2007.  He made another attempt on his life this past Tuesday, greatfully unsuccessfully.  Scary enough.

Stephen is in the hospital again and will be there for a bit.

I suppose I’ve come to realize that this is simply what our family gets to go through for whatever reason in the Universe.  As with parents with children with special needs, or perhaps a horrible medical issue – we simply continue on.  We love him, we support him and we are here to pick up the pieces no matter how difficult they are to find.

I am new in my job, so I certainly cannot miss any time.  To be quite honest, I am thankful for my job and the time it gives me to focus on something else.  I am still very excited about my job – and enjoy it daily.  I don’t stop to think about much during the day but my work.

The weekend is here though, and I get to relax and to reflect.

I’m not falling apart.  I’m only extremely greatful that I have this beautiful child and he’s still with us.  The Universe must have thought I was strong enough to assist him through what he is going through – that’s why he’s my son.

I’m only thoughtful right now.  Not down.  That’s different than the 4 other times.  I suppose I just get to be a momma and fight to keep my child safe.  Safe from himself and from the doctors that are merely guessing at what they can do to assist.

We do need to locate a person to be here with him during the day while I work – he cannot be left alone.

So – when we have things happen to us, I believe that being greatful and looking at the positveness of life brings us through even the darkest of times.

I can tell you my list of greatfullnesses (my special word for the day) is extremely long and beautiful.

To each of you that may be going through your own bought of rough spots – I hold your hand and walk through it with you.

Life is beautiful.

Love and Light,

~Monica~
