I found this out like you the hard way, friends that I travelled hundreds of miles to be with them when they needed me let me down last year when I needed them. From it all like you I gained friends from blog land who sent me prayers, well wishes and hugs.<br />All I can say Christine is to stay strong and think positive, my son like yours was very ill at the age of 17 his kidneys started to fail, he will be 40 soon has had two transplants leads an active life and is married with two beautiful little girls, something 23 years ago we never thought might happen. Chin up and look ahead. <br />Keep busy it helps the mind.<br /><br />Hazel ((((( hugs)))))Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08926523409356883633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293323717542650715.post-14878810302071443122013-09-12T11:22:31.248+01:002013-09-12T11:22:31.248+01:00Hi Christine, How brave of you to write about this...Hi Christine, How brave of you to write about this "bulldozer" that has entered your family life. I am pleased you have found that keeping busy is your way through it all. You are showing your boys that life is what we make of it and it is not all plain sailing, giving up is not the answer, a true reminder to us all. Friends should always be there for you but sometimes some people never truly were, they were just passing through! Good wishes to you and your family and I look forward to more posts with your positive energy coming through, but if you fancy bleating off with some negativity that's ok too!<br /> Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160827221904217843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293323717542650715.post-57462218191530089892013-09-11T18:13:43.107+01:002013-09-11T18:13:43.107+01:00Hi Christine
