Is This Real Life? (From 7/30/14)

Have you ever had things going on in your life that were so hard that you just couldn't believe they were happening to you? Like in your head you think "this is the kind of stuff that happens to other people, not to me", but it is happening to you?  That is where I am at right now.  I just can't believe that my son's face is on a donation box and I sometimes see him randomly pop up in my news feed on Facebook.  I have such mixed feelings when I see that.  First, I smile because of how cute he is and how much I love him.  Then, I get sad and angry because of the reason his face is being posted.  Lastly, I feel gratitude to those of you who are helping.  The ones who are "like"ing, sharing, and giving.  Those who care.  You see, I HATE that my son and my family are going through this, but I love that we don't have to go through it alone. Thank you all.
