I came across your blog via Matt Loglin’s site a while back. I’ve enjoyed reading your writting on a daily/weekly basis!!! I continue to frequent Matt’s blog because of his ability to provide the perspective you mentioned and perservere/thrive in spite of his life.

It took me a few days to respond to this post because I’ve gotten so emotional every time I’ve read it. We as parents are so lucky. So damned lucky to have our children (and ourselves) alive and healthy. That could change, any second of any day, but we get the privilege of sharing our lives with them right now and I thank God for every second. When Alex was 9 months old I had a go ’round with metastatic breast cancer and for awhile thought I wouldn’t get to see him grow up. So every day is truly a gift. Your post touched my heart, thank you.

I loved this post. I know the feeling well. You look at your life and you’re grateful for you what you have, but somewhere someone is dying or has died or just wants to die, has a horrible disease and is powerless to change it – and that’s enough to bear up under, for all of us.

I read this after I put my 3 year old to bed for the 7th time tonight! I went back in an eighth time for an extra hug – thanks for the post!

As I sit here pissed that I am at work and the crappy little things that happen to me, I am now grateful to have read your post. I try my best to not get the little things get to me or get to involved with petty stuff. This was the perfect post to get me out of my bs. Thank you! Hope you had a great weekend!

No, no. You didn’t bum anyone out. In fact, I loved your post. There is a ton of sadness out there in this quick-spin planet of ours–but you know, even the nutty stuff cannot erase the incredible beauty and goodness IF we don’t let it. Your babies are so beautiful and your lovely wife is so lucky to have a man who sees it all once in a while. You’re doing good honey.

Wow. I appreciate your honesty and even more so, like Scott said, for snapping us back into reality. Life is pretty darn good for most of us. And, unfortuntaley it’s really too short for us to keep sitting around complaining about the things we don’t like or are unhappy about…time to re-focus on the positive. Thanks, Kate
