Really?

I know I probably shouldn't even involve myself in this at all and I probably won't keep this post up for long...but when I see that one of my blog posts has gotten over 600 views it makes you wonder what the heck is going on! It led me to find that there are people out there on internet forums who do nothing but bash and make fun of other people...The forum was actually not about me but another blogger, but somehow I got brought into the conversation!?  I realize that I was brought up in a positive way at first, but it still just really blows my mind. I put myself out there with my blog and I know that with that comes criticism, but wow, I never realized how far people take it. I wish I had not even seen it! I can tell you that I WON'T be looking at it again. I'm all about the positive. :)

    Hey Lindsay. I recently started following your blog. Not really sure what exactly this post is referring to, but I can imagine. I started following your ramblings for fitness tips and inspiration. I've stayed for your candidness. It takes a lot of gets to put yourself out there. Keep being awesome ;-)

    No idea which post you are talking about or what is being said, but you are such an inspiration for me and I absolutely love reading your blog. No matter what you do, someone will have something to say about it. Hard to ignore what people say, but just remember you inspire and motivate a lot of people out there! :)

    The Internet is full of cowardly critics who hide behind their anonymity. I have no idea what people might try to criticize about you or your blog. I have always been inspired by your hard work and your beliefs. Keep up the good work and don't worry about what the negative spectators think.

      Well, the forum was bashing another blogger and my name got brought up but still...I can't believe that people actually spend their time just bashing people! Wow! Thanks so much, Tom, I really appreciate it!

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm
