.
It means knowing that everyday is a blessing and a gift.
It means knowing that you are the luckiest person in the world,
just to be a parent.
It means cherishing every moment,
every breath with such intensity that you feel tears come to your eyes for no reason.
It means praying for a miracle to save your child's life.
It means praying your marriage is strong enough to endure the hospitalizations, sepatations, and grief.
It means praying for the will to live,
even if your child doesn't.
It means your own heart knows a pain,
no parent should know.
It means feeling weak, helpless, angry,
and depressed because your child's fate is out of you hands.
It means feeling strong, detemined,
and brave because you know you have to be.
It means your love knows new unlimited boundaries.
It means your pride in your child's accomplishments is unparalleled.
It means your pain has taught you a deeper sense of compassion than you ever imagined.
It means we are all united by the
same feelings.
It means that we all know the mixed up emotions of dealing with death -
but more importantly of living with life.
It means that even though we are strangers we are more to each other than friends could ever be.
