My heart is full this morning as I checked my comments on the last post & saw the one from Michelle in New Zealand. I know its not everyone's choice to be an open book with illnesses or other trials in life & I honestly understand & respect that. But, much to my mother's dismay, I've always been more than an open book. Its just who I am. And I've learned over the years that it can make people uncomfortable but it can also help people. And that's why I do it.
When I got pregnant with my first baby, I told no one. But then when I miscarried at 10 weeks & had to have a D&C, I told everyone. Why? Because I didn't want to be the crazy lady crying in church & no one knew why. Because people knew what had happened, they were able to love & support me instead of question & whisper. I also learned at that point that it allowed others who had experienced miscarriages & kept it private to talk to me because they knew I would understand. It also helped my friends who had miscarriages after me for the same reason. The same went for the infertility issues I had before I got pregnant with my twins. I've never regretted being so open about my health issues. Sure, I get some weird/inconsiderate comments. But those are easy to brush off when you know others have been helped.
I am grateful for the internet & blogging. I love my FSGS group ladies with all of my heart. I pray for them & think about them & I know they are concerned for me too. I love how it connects us from all over the world. Comments like Michelle's make all of the hard stuff worth it. So Michelle, if you read this-- THANK YOU! And please email me so we can be friends!

Also, how cool that Michelle is from New Zealand! Now you have TWO Kiwi readers. :)
