Claudia had no idea what was happening but I did and it broke my heart. It is a big fear of mine...I don't need her to be popular, but I want to protect her fragile heart (I also don't want her to be the bully either).Chantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040429393319551211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-82908531395674431522011-02-28T13:15:33.200-05:002011-02-28T13:15:33.200-05:00"No one really knows, sweetie"... love t..."No one really knows, sweetie"... love the simple answer and approach you chose to navigate with through such a difficult question.Life via Lenshttp://www.lifevialens.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-88418422849289960702011-02-28T09:17:46.791-05:002011-02-28T09:17:46.791-05:00Sometimes it is so difficult to answer our kids...Sometimes it is so difficult to answer our kids' questions. Honesty is always the best policy, I find. And "I don't know" is a perfectly honest answer. I have had to use that response to my daughter to answer a very difficult and painful question and it is a hard one to swallow. <br /><br />I love that your girls are open and inquisitive and that their play reflects their acceptance of all kinds of people. So wonderful.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826420697691636347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-63736882130631587842011-02-28T02:56:36.421-05:002011-02-28T02:56:36.421-05:00Tough question!

I'd STILL like to know why I had to have an infertile diagnosis.<br /><br />Then, love the wheelchair quote!!!Marcia (123 blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15581613927187600748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-78858384124156075682011-02-28T02:32:47.785-05:002011-02-28T02:32:47.785-05:00I've thought about how I will answer the "...I've thought about how I will answer the "Why did Caitlin get an encephalocele?" "Why did Caitlin die?" "Why does Julia have cerebral palsy?" questions when the girls are old enough to articulate them.<br /><br />I don't like the "God made you this way" answer, because it will most likely lead to thinking that either 1) Caitlin and/or Julia were bad, and that is why God did not perform a miracle on them and make them "perfect", or 2) my husband and I were bad, and as a punishment these things happened. And I don't like the folic acid answer either, because it makes it seem like it was something under my control, and that I did this to them. Plus, who knows if that's why it happened? <br /><br />I think I'm going with something similar to your response - Nobody really knows why it happened, but sometimes things just happen and people come out differently, and that is okay.Amyhttp://onealaskanmom.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-60251257021353690582011-02-27T22:18:22.375-05:002011-02-27T22:18:22.375-05:00That's a hard question!
