aahh. two days ago I found myself and my daughter riding in the back of a car with potential man driving…driving us up the mountain for an adventure with a good soundtrack and no seatbelts. My child was nested so close into me (the only advantage of no seatbelt) and for several moments, I felt what it was like to be taken care of. To rest. To be perhaps so cherishable that one other might do the right thing.

You are a friend to many, an inspiration daily and a blessing to many of us going into 2009!

Thank you, for the advice, and the honest adoration!

We love you.
Thank you for being vulnerable.

This really got to me. I have been feeling the same way alot lately..it’s SO hard.
My son got rotavirus last summer and ended up dehydrated. We spent the night in the hospital so he could get some fluids in him. Trying to keep a toddler in a bed for 24 hours was NOT fun.
I get so tired sometimes..doing it all by myself.
Sigh.
Hang in there, you’re not alone.

Good God I loved this video. Worth a thousand words … I got goosebumps! I just had to post it on my blog with the following words:

Here’s a glimpse at the wishes of a single mother whose little son is sick right now; she’s a friend and master of a blogger. I adore her ability to show us her vulnerable side. I also get a little fright when I think she’s going to find Mr. Right and leave her following of cool single moms. Where would we gather and share our insight?

Seriously, you are just too cool not to find the right dude!

Just read my original comment and deleted it. SO many typos and lots of babbling.

Thank you Dawn and Morgan! Wish you could get here.

I’m just so glad I’m not the only one who feels this way – I knew I wouldn’t be, guess it’s just nice to know I’m not totally alone.

I love Love Actually, didn’t occur to me until after shooting this. I was honestly looking for a quiet way to communicate b/c Ben was passed out. (FINALLY).

We’re still sick. Very sick. Thought we were in the clear earlier this afternoon but it didn’t last. Babbling again but at least there are no typos.

thank you for this. it touches the core of those dark nights when things just feel too damned hard. the morning always comes, but sometimes the night lasts a really long time.

yours in solidarity.

I hope he is feeling better. If I had gas, I’d drive down and help however you needed.

I agree w/ Seth – right away it made me think of Love Actually.

It is brave of you to let yourself be vulnerable and to show that vulnerability to others. That means you are strong enough to know that you can have those days & can tell people when you need help or need some extra encouragement.

I feel most single when I am sick – it would be nice to have someone rub your shoulders or go pick up some ginger ale or saltine or whatever for you. I feel that way I am responsible for no one besides myself.

Sending positive thoughts your way & hoping that Benjamin is better very, very soon!
