Have you ever wondered how people seem to succeed against all the odds?
I bet that you've probably looked at them...and thought that they must have been 'special' in some way in order to do so.
Well...I can tell you that they are NOT.
They're not because I know that, to some people, what I have achieved despite what has happened to my family may seem difficult in some way.
It's NOT!
Sure...looking back...I wondered how we ever dealt with some of the situations we found ourselves in as Connor struggled to survive.
But...deal with them we did. And then just got on with our lives.
I never knew that I would have such a capacity to juggle so many different things at the same time as learning a new 'skill'...24 hour nurse!
Of course it wasn't easy. Events that define your life very rarely are.
But...whether events work out in your favor in the end...it doesn't really matter in the 'big scheme of things'.
All that matters is that you come out of the other side...and realize that you were NOT 'just' such-and-such person...you were able to be much more than that.
And...if you can deal with so much at one time in your life...then there is certainly no reason why you can't at ANY other time.
It's just a shame that all too often you need one hell of a serious challenge to make you realize that you were NOT the limited person that you thought you were.
YOU are MUCH better than that!
