life is delicate

watercolor

Our 6y/o son was diagnosed with epilepsy this week...
it has been a hard week...

“Sometimes it seemed to [her] that...
life was delicate as a dandelion. 
One little puff from any direction, 
and it was blown to bits.” 
― Katherine Paterson, Bridge to Terabithia

    Its always hard to come to terms with, but can I tell you my eldest daughter was diagnosed at the same age as your son, she is now in her late 40's, has two children and copes very well. Hugs Annette x

    I'm sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis. I don't know much about the condition but I hope that he gets the treatment available to manage it successfully and it doesn't impact on him enjoying life to the fullest. Your painting is beautiful and sums up just how delicate life is beautifully. x

    A prayer right now for your little boy and your whole family - right to God, the great physician. I always love your art - I guess you are all feeling a bit like that dandelion right now.

    That must have been devastating to hear, that there is anything wrong with your little boy. But like someone above said, it's not nearly as troublesome as it once was, with all the medications and medical advancements. Lots of good wishes and good luck to you!

    Beautiful and delicate painting, capturing exactly the feeling of the quote. I can see the hand holding a flower or even a full grown tree! Very cool!

    Oh Minnemie, I've been so caught up with my move that I've only just started to come online again and then I see your post!
    I'm so sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis. What a terribly worrying time you must have been going through. At least now that you have a diagnosis, your son's treatment and care can enable him to live life to the full.
    I'm sending all my positive thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
    By the way, I think your painting depicts incredibly well how you must be feeling right now.
    Take care and try to keep strong xoxo
