I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one who lays in bed and hopes to do better as a mother! Jakob starting preschool really grounded me.. I am going to miss him so much! The thought of my family having to go on living without me, or me living without one of them, makes me tremble! It is by far the my biggest fear! The episode was HEART BREAKING! I cried so hard my eyes were sore! I am buying the book tommarow! Thanks for this post! So… I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one who lays in bed and hopes to do better as a mother!

And I agree with you on so many levels about being a SAHM. I know I could do more and so often, I don't. And flying without them is something I DO NOT do unless medicated. I would hate to leave my children behind to grieve for their mother. What a terrible thought. But, I wanted you to know that how you feel is normal...or else I am abnormal as well!

I had tears in my eyes watching him! We all could learn a little something ~ or ALOT of something from the person he is! I saw that man on Oprah. He is really amazing. I am so sad he passed.

I bought his book a couple of months ago and couldn't put it down. <br/><br/>Chris and I watched Dateline the other night as well....we had seen the first Dateline where they talked with him and his family and were deeply moved over his outlook on life. <br/><br/>I think most of us "sahm's" struggle with the same things you mentioned. But as I look at my kids smiles, how lovey they are, respectful, and kind, good beings. I know we are doing a great job raising them and that helps with the "guilty" feelings we have. <br/><br/>What an incredible man to be taken much too soon. I have a hard time understanding that and am getting emotional just typing this. Oh how I understand what you are saying and feeling.

I saw that Dateline episode too and sobbbed through the entire show. You have just written what many of us are thinking day in and day out! I find myself caught up in daily stuff and "ignoring" my kids more than I should. Balance is difficult to find. My kids go back to daycare and school next week and I go back to work full time. Part of me is looking forward to the routine again, but the other part of me is going to miss being home. You are so lucky to have the opportunity to be a stay at home mom!! I wish so much that I could be a little more like Randy. Live in the moment......yet somehow it is so hard. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reminding me that I am not the only one that struggles with this! OMG! I saw that Dateline episode too and sobbbed through the entire show.
