a whole new respect - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

this is kind of a sappy thread.

to any of your out there who may have a child or loved one who is totally dependant upon you to live. how you feed, bathe, talk, soothe them.

as you know I'm an animal freak, and this doesn't really equal the above, but.... last night i feared I lost one of my children, Mr. Gimp, a very sick lizard who i've fallen in love with... i've been having to force feed him at times when he's tired.. cradling him like an infant and feeding him through a syringe and occasionally he can get a superworm down, but it takes great effort.
today he was perky..... by the time he got through eating he'd fall asleep from sheer exchauestion.

so.... you guys who have a kid... and can keep taking care of them, you gave up your life to keep them alive and hopefully happy. I salute you.

I have been very humbled.

Hmmmm. I'm going to make a couple of assumptions here. I guess you mean having an infant that takes up all of your time. I also assume that you mean a healthy child. Having a kid that is all time consuming and healthy is part of being a parent and has defined my existence. No need to be humbled.

However, caring for the sick or unhealthy (old or young, human or reptile) is a completely different story. That is a humbling experience.

Good luck with Gimp.

due to my own sittuation i know of several who have given up their whole lives to be dedicated to care for somone untill they die. i speak of braindead, people who cannot communicate, those who cannot feed themselves, so on.
it is amazing. i know one family whose daughter got fucked up for life at 17 and now she's in her 20s and her parents take care of her. she's complete mentaly, but physicaly ruined.

just doing what i'm doing now is rough. i cannot begin to imagine the difficulties of doing this for years.
