How thankful I am to have found this video the explains how I have felt the past 24 hours. After 14 years of being together my sweet little dog Tawnee, she had to be put down today. She has been dwindling this past week and we have been doing IV's, medications, and force feedings, but after today we could not see her suffer any longer. We knew it was time for her to go in peace.We love her and will miss her dearly!
Not only did we have to put our little dog down today, we had a teenager who is really struggling both spiritually, emotionally, and now physically with his injured leg. We spent last night up with him until 3:00 a.m. listening to him pour his heart out about his struggles. As parents you want to take away all their pain and suffering but know that if you do they will never learn the lessons God has intended for them to learn.
The past 24 hours have been one of the most difficult times of my life so far. Dealing with a chronic illness can be extremely challenging but then throwing in life's additional difficulties can sometimes make you feel as if you can't stand any longer. It is at these times when all I can do is hit my knees and pray.
These stressors took such a tole on my body that I encountered 3 breathing attacks in one day. This is the most I have ever dealt with. This was a very difficult day but oh how grateful I am for my Savior who stayed with me and gave me the strength to endure a difficult night with my son, and who never left my side throughout this day as I relied on him to carry me today.
