We willingly sacrifice over and over for our children. Being a mother is the hardest but most amazing 24/7 "job" in the world. We are also human, capable of making mistakes. Are we any less a loving mother because we believe in one thing another disagrees with? I think not! I have 4 girls. We would like to have a son. If we were to be blessed with a son, I can't tell you at this moment what we would do. Is it a mistake to circumsize a baby boy? I think that decision is to be made by the parents and their beliefs. We are not to judge others. And whether a person is a Jew, Born Again Christian, Buddhist, Catholic or of any other belief it is not our place to over and over persecute a mother who has just lost a child! Regardless what our opinions/beliefs are! Jill- I pray for you and your family! And just to let you know, my daughters wanted to sleep in their play clothes last night and I let them and we ate at McDonalds tonight! MMmmmm...

Your child has left a legacy that will go on for years to come, as I'm certain that our Father has brought many to Him through Joshua's story. Just think of the eternal life that has been given to so many because they learned of God's amazing love through your son's story. What an amazing gift! What an honor to be his Mommy! A Mommy who LOVES her son with EVERYTHING she has. <br /><br />Dawn, I ask that you read your comments once again. Is this how a social worker should treat a grieving mother? If you believe this is how someone within your profession should treat a Mother like Jill, then I kindly ask that you seriously consider changing careers. I will pray for you, even though you've asked us not to do so. I will pray for the families with whom you work. I will pray that Jill can find it in her heart to forgive your comments so that she may live in peace. I just pray for love.Avery Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469458820417044297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-35783509534584800002010-11-03T17:08:08.104-04:002010-11-03T17:08:08.104-04:00Jill, I told you she didn't have children!!

Regardless even of whether we think the circ may have added to the problem... MOTHERS everywhere know what it's like to be judged for decisions we are forced to make for our kids (vaccines, preschool, junk food, diapers, EVERYTHING) and we all know that a baby's mother ALWAYS knows best. I took some Improv classes at Second City and sometimes when we were doing an exercise and someone would blurt out something that made NO sense... the kids would laugh and the person would usually say "oops that wasn't supposed to happen"... well our instructor responded each time with a resounding, "YES!! it WAS supposed to happen because that's what DID happen" he always taught us that in improv, as in life, your expectations will almost always differ from what is meant to be.... and anyone who's ever done or seen improv knows that it's true... you ALWAYS get the biggest reward (laughs) out of an unexpected response. <3 <3 Sending amuch love your way, my sister in motherhood <3StrongRedheadedCherokeeMamahttp://perpetualmotionmama.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-31379434945504351562010-11-03T16:02:58.484-04:002010-11-03T16:02:58.484-04:00Wow I couldn't believe the first comment writt...Wow I couldn't believe the first comment written.

As you said, Jill, Joshua lived the exact number of days that were ordained for him. No one can presume, just by reading your blog, that they know the cause of Joshua's death.<br /><br />Cling tightly to the Lord! I have no words to help your pain. Sometimes you don't need words when you're grieving. Sometimes you just need to hear someone else say, "this sucks." But you have been so courageous, so inspiring, and yes, even fierce and fiesty through all of this.<br /><br />Poor Dawn...I am so sorry for the deep pain that she carries for whatever reason.

I dont think circumcision is necessary and didnt with my son but it was a decision that I had to make as you did. We all have our reasons for the way we parent our children and no two people are going to agree on every single issue. But in no way do I believe that your child deserved to die or anyone's child for that matter! We should be here supporting each other through the tough times and rejoicing with each other in the good times. Motherhood is hard enough without attacking each other! I am so so sorry for your loss and seriously embarrassed for the zealots that are using you and your poor family to justify the advancement of their cause. It is absolutely NOT right. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this. <br />Gretchengretchennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-72518187009280927632010-11-03T09:31:20.548-04:002010-11-03T09:31:20.548-04:00I hope that it is not true that this Dawn is a soc...I hope that it is not true that this Dawn is a social worker.

My heart hurts with yours as you grieve...over time the hurt won't sting as much, but, it will always be a part of you and your family. It is a new normal that all we can do with, is give the hurt to God and ask that He guide our every step. You are brave and strong, and the love you show as you are under fire is going to change hearts and lives. As a mother that has lost a son recently,I understand your deep pain. Know that I am praying as you walk through this grief that is so unpredictable, and ever changing... You are a beautiful example of Christs love. Even when it hurts.
