One of the blogs I read daily belongs to Amy Corbett Storch, an east coast mom who is truly hilarious. I model my writing style after hers, a tribute she deserves greatly since she has made me laugh so many times I've lost count. Yesterday she posted that because of her parents' health issues, they would not be able to be there for the birth of her second child. I read that and actually teared up, because I can't imagine much worse than not being with my mom at the birth of one of my children.
Then Amy got torn a new one in her comments, because, well, "there are worse things" and "quit whining" and "look on the bright side" and blah blah blah blah blah. Her response, this, not only addresses EXACTLY how I feel about my blog and the reasons I use it for my own personal whine-fest, but also hit a few nerves regarding how I feel about my mom in particular, and how scared I am about someday losing her, as well as my dad.
I feel for Amy, and I totally identify with her situation. Go Amy! And we should all keep using our blogs as an outlet - that's what they're for. If people don't want to hear it, THEY DON'T HAVE TO READ IT.
Cheerio!
