Mommy's Broken: Life with Lupus: My Family

My Family

I have been doing this blog for going on three years, I think. This is my family. The two adorable girls I constantly talk about. The whole reason I even have a blog. I really don't think if I would do this if I just had SLE and was single.

These are the reasons I get up EVER morning and fight this diease. We all have our reasons, these are mine. This isn't my whole "Family." I have a very large support group of people who take care of me and my daughters. I love them all very much and they are very very very special to me. I know how lucky I am to even have one person who is willing to help but to have as many as I do it amazing.

Thank all of you for all the love and support!

Why Mommy's Broken?

I have two little girls. Trying to get them to understand that Mommy isn't like all the other Mommies is much harder than you'd think. Doing it while trying not to scare them is even harder. I wanted to give them something they would understand on their level but wouldn't be lost on someone else. So I started by telling them that Mommy was broken, as to not tell them I am sick. Sick people get better, mommy doesn't. There are days when Mommy can get up and run around and do all those wonderful things; But there are days when Mommy has to stay in bed and rest. They have been able to take this information and be at ease about Mommy not being 'normal' or 'healthy'. Now I have a new challange of trying to let them know that mommy is not going to get to live as long as most other people. Telling your kids you are going to die is alot harder than you'd think.
