I'm Rachel 26 from the UK and have ...Heather , <br />I'm Rachel 26 from the UK and have been following your families story for a while now. I have read your blog posts and followed your Facebook , watching in growing awe and admiration at the strength each of you show day in and day out. <br />I have GP and a few other conditions and just came across your page one day , little was I to know that without ever meeting you or speaking directly how you would enrich my life. I feel your pain and your joy and the fight you constantly have on your hands to just get through each day. <br />You write so beautifully and it is so relatable , it's raw and emotionally driven, I really feel what you write. But the thought of you having to live your life feeling like that day in and day out is just almost unbearable. You are an inspiration ... <br />I would tell you how strong you are but I know when people say that to me I think how wrong they are. If I had a choice to be well again then forget the strength I have found and the person I have become , I would run from this is a heat beat ! And I know you must feel exactly the same , even more so ! <br />But what does make you strong is the way you deal with this , that out of this horrific situation no person should EVER go through you help others. You write blogs , you raise awareness , you run for other sick children and you keep Eli's memory alive every day. <br />I also want to tell you something I heard a long time ago and really has stuck with me is "Guilt is only a useful emotion if you can change it" and you can't change it. Focus on the hundreds of weekends you did do that instead of the one you didn't. Maybe someone somewhere (I like to think it was Eli!) Knew you needed that couple of days to recharge to help you deal with what was too come. <br />I hope I haven't gone on too long but I wanted you to know I am thinking of you and your entire family. <br />Keep holding on ...
