Journalling reads: There were so many things I could have done with my life, even when I didn't go to school much I got the grades that opened doors to anything I wanted to do. But there wasn't anything that appealed to me. When I found out I was pregnant on my 17th birthday a lot of people had opinions on the matter. Some of them said I was throwing my life away, some of them weren't even that polite.Growing up in such a large family had clouded my view of having kids, I always swore I would never have any of my own, but as I don't believe in abortion once I got pregnant, I knew things were going to change forever, I guess I didn't realise how much. From early on in my pregnancy there were complications, including seizures and pain the doctors couldn't explain. We used to think it would all sort itself out once the baby came. When Lukas was born things didn't change if anything some of them got worse because of the stress of him being in special care. 5 years down the line, the medical issues are still here showing no signs of ever going away or even improving. Somedays I get so depressed by it all I consider walking away, but then I look at him and I know I could never ever leave. If I could turn back time, would I make any changes, sure, but having him wouldn't have been one of them, Lukas is worth every single bit of pain I have suffered. He is the light of my life, and I feel truly blessed to have him. There are times when I feel I am letting him down by being so ill all the time, but when I look at the love in his eyes for me, I know that to him it doesn't matter. He knows I am doing the best I can and that I love him with all my heart and soul. So what does the future hold, I don't really know I hope that one day I am able to be the mummy he deserves to have, to take him out and play with him all the time, but if that never happens we will get by same as we always have, I would love to give him a little brother or sister to play with, but more than anything else I just want to enjoy every single dribbly kiss, and smile he throws my way. He's one in a million and I intend to enjoy every minute with him whether I am ill or not!
Enabling: I have made the names in the credits clickable if they are still available, because I really don't fancy retyping it all lol.
