Sometimes I freeze, just momentarily. I get trapped by hopelessness and I am paralyzed. My breathe falls from my chest and I can’t seem to suck in any air. What if she never gets better? What if what I have been doing with her isn’t helping at all and we are trapped in this pit.
I have no choice but to stop to encourage myself. Light always overcomes the darkness. Even the tiny flame from a single match will chase away the darkness leaving only shadows remaining.
My daughter is still here. Her mind is full and wonderful. I will build a bridge from her mind to the world and she will walk over it someday.

Wow. You just spoke my heart.
Thank you for all the information you give to others. Thank you that you are so devoted to Sophie. God bless you as you walk this road. You are never alone.
I just had to say that is exactly what I feel. That feeling that takes my breath and the fear that lives pushed to the back of my mind. It sneaks up on me and I work so hard to help my little girl but I am still so afraid too. I love the part about the bridge….it expresses my hopes for my little girl too…..so eloquent.
Thanks
Wendy
