The girls played another great day of Lacrosse. Two more games today and the team has went undefeated. I am so proud of Shaniah and how hard she has worked this past year with all the turmoil at home. She has really grown a lot over these past few months both physically and emotionally. She has had to deal with things that the normal teen does not have to deal with. She has told me that it is really hard for her having to worry and watch her mom be sick. When she told me this it truly broke my heart. I really did not understand just how hard my disease can be on the ones ya love. I hate that my family has to worry about this. I tell them I am a tough old bird and will be just fine. But I am now seeing just how this trial is helping us all grow in ways that without it we never would have.
Shaniah has had to pick up the slack and really give of her self unselfishly. I have seen true growth in her life for the good. She is not the same and has truly become a loving, giving, daughter through all of this. We still have difficult days but she is always the one reminding me to not eat gluten, dairy, or eggs, and is always my little voice in my head to not do things that would cause me to over-do and flare. She always say; "Mom, don't do it…its just not worth the flare." I am so thankful for another strong woman in my life that reminds me to take care of myself so that I can be there for when she needs me.
I really am thankful for this teen of mine! She is growing leaps and bounds and I am so proud to call her mine!
Lacrosse is Life…or so she says!!
MY SWEET SHANIAH!
