I can absolute...Oh my sweet friend, I am so sorry. I can absolutely relate to your son's kinetic energy as I married a man who MUST be moving and produced one or two daughters who contain that same sort of energy, one having been "diagnosed" with ADD. You cannot blame yourself, a lesson that I am finally beginning to get with my 21 year old daughter. Just as you cannot keep them contained, you also cannot keep them from moving constantly and with the constant movement there are risks. I always try to remind myself that when something awful happens, maybe, just maybe, something even worse was avoided and that this was just an obstacle placed in the path. Somehow, this makes acceptance a tiny bit easier. <br /><br />I pray that your son has a very speedy recovery and that somewhere, the silver lining in all of this shows itself soon. Our children are meant to defy gravity even if the fall back to earth sometimes smarts more than others.<br /><br />Breathe, my friend, remember to breathe...<br /><br />Big hugs.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-46103684991584971802011-03-03T19:01:46.812-05:002011-03-03T19:01:46.812-05:00Despite feeling bad that your son injured himself ...Despite feeling bad that your son injured himself and is so disappointed, I have to say that I smiled at this post -- smiled at your guilty mama thoughts and shook my head.

Don't fret. <br />I think this is going to be one of those one-door-closes/another-opens situations.<br />Now quit feeling guilty for something you had NO control over.
