This woman must be the strongest mom in the world

I saw this blog on another forum, and she amazes me with her strength. I'm addicted to her blog and just her strength.

I wouldn't say the strongest mom in the world. I personally know of many parents who are struggling with extreme challenges of raising children with physical or mental disabilities. They all have a tremendous amount of courage, but it's not a contest, not even hyperbolically.

Scarlett's a gorgeous little girl, though.

Sigh....everything has to be a thing. It must be exhausting to be you.

Wow, I really feel for that little girl. That must be so tough at her age (not that it wouldn't be at any age).

Wow. Between this blog and an inch of gray blog, it is really putting my troubles in perspective. Thanks for sharing OP.

I love that parents have a sense of humor and style.

I looked up the Inch of Gray blog--what happened to the kid? She needs a blurb somewhere.

Anna's son drowned in the flooding we had on Sept. 8 last fall. Go back and look at her older blog posts and you'll see. Especially poignant is seeing her Sept 7 post followed by her next post...

Such lovely photos! My favorite is the photo where Scarlett is full of joy wearing a "hot stuff" T shirt with a flower head band. She is such a cutie patooty!

Thanks for sharing the blog. When I have some more free time I will read through the rest of it. As a SN mom with a much less challenging situation, I must say that I have such respect for these parents. I don't know them personally, but based on what I have read and seen on the blog so far they seem like such loving parents and they seem like a beautiful couple inside and out. I love reading about people who rise to the occasion when they face challenges. They have a darling little girl and they are enjoying her rather than ruminating that things should have been a certain way.

17:28 again...didn't express myself well. I think it's normal for anyone to still think about what should have been and feel sad when you see a child suffering. I guess what I was trying to say is they haven't let the situation derail them. I know a mother who faced the situation we have who left her husband because she felt she couldn't handle raising a child with SN. This couple is facing what is going on instead of running away.

I just find her to be so positive (and maybe not the strongest but....) it's amazing to see her strength of spirit.

Being negative all the time, you must get tired of it. Just let some things go...it will be ok.

Google Boyce Crew blog. Two kids dying via a horrible genetic disease and the mom is just days (? I haven't checked it recently) from having her third child. Amazing.

I do love this one too though. These children as so special.

I hope the third child doesn't have it.
