SORRY

It's a tricky topic because I haven't assigned a worst, bad, wonderful, or so-so rating to any of the gifts I've received thus far. Nevertheless, the worst thing that has happened to our family since I became a father is my children's illness. As the saying goes, "everything is a gift." Kid's illness is the worst gift I gotten as a dad.

NAME IT

My first child was born prematurely and had an extremely low blood sugar level. His heart rate has been abnormal for weeks. For years, my second and third sons suffered from asthma.

THINK TOO MUCH?

I think what occurs sometimes is that while I feeling fear or anxiety, I say to myself, it's really essential for me to feel this fear of what-if thinking. Of course, whenever I wish I could just push this feeling away, I don't want to feel this way, what happens is my emotions become muddied and intensified as a result of my reaction to them. The more I try not to feel or think about the fear, the more I feel and think about it, and the more troubled I become.

EVERYTHING IS A GIFT, IS IT TRUE?

I believe this is true because, as a result of all of these tests, I have gained a great deal of mental strength. On the outside, I appear cool in a crisis, but on the inside, I am fighting it every second. Having a more accepting attitude toward stressors has decreased levels of my anxiety and depression. It's the best natural medicine. It's not implied that I am are resigned to a negative consequence, instead, I embracing the reality of a situation in which is life is brief, and anything can happen at any time, and understanding the limits of control. I can't control other people or the future, it's in God's control. What best I can do is taking the action that can be taken, and do whatever in my ability to keep them safe, I'll never be able to completely shield my children from danger, whether physical or emotional. I do my best within my power. Other than that, it's in God's control.
