I answered anger -- anger makes me want to take action. It makes me do things -- write letters, pound walls, go running. Sadness just envelops me and suffocates, and makes me feel incredibly helpless.<BR/><BR/>I think after Maddy died I really wanted to be angry, but had no one or thing to be angry at. There was no missed step by anyone (me included), no point at which anyone could have caught things to change the outcome. I suppose I was a bit pissed at ultrasound technology for not providing a warning, but again -- wouldn't have changed the outcome, just moved the dates a bit. Angry at my DNA? Perhaps, but only if my geneticist is right. I find it rather impossible to be angry at a universal order, and certainly didn't know to whom to address my letter.<BR/><BR/>So I was sad. And it sucked.<BR/><BR/>Long way of saying I'm not sure if I would've appreciated that or not, but I'm so glad you did. Sometimes we don't realize what it is we really appreciated until long after the fact.Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376651134993450207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158602962866970259.post-20633296841625994442009-02-26T19:06:00.000-05:002009-02-26T19:06:00.000-05:00agreed. i needed to hear that too. i'm so glad you...agreed. i needed to hear that too. i'm so glad you've updated your blog!<BR/>i missed you. <BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>LaniLanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963832673599410153noreply@blogger.com
