Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 Shirley, Yes, I, too, believe the suffering has brought my family closer. It has certainly made me count my many blessings even more than before. There is no doubt that I am loved and cherished. At 17, my daughter told me she hated me and that I was ruining her life because my rules were very tough. I knew she didn't really hate me, she just wanted to have her way! Anyway, she's now not quite 21 and even before I got sick again made sure to tell me on a regular basis how very much she needs me in her life. She and I were always close (even during the tough teenage years) but we are closer now than I ever imagined. It is amazing to see the lovely young woman this once somewhat self-centered little girl has become. I do believe that there have been many good things to come to us as a result of my health problems. I still hate knowing that I am the source of pain and worry for my loved ones.
