I would do it all over again

I asked my husband if he thinks he would have chosen to have children with me knowing what we know now about my health?  If we knew that I had genetic mutations that could easily be passed onto our children, would he do it all over again? Quickly realizing that this was a ridiculous question... one similar to, 'do these jeans make me look fat?'

He responded with, "Yes, of course.  The moment the kids were born, I couldn't remember life before them.  It's not even a question."

I guess I started feeling guilty that I could have passed something on to them that would cause them to struggle later in life.  But then again, I don't necessarily look at my life as a struggle.  Sure, walking can be tricky at times but I am often strong enough to do many things and definitely mentally strong enough to think I can do anything.  {In fact I cleaned one room in our house for an hour the other day, feeling great until I hit the wall and was on the couch for the next 4 hours.  But that clean room was totally worth it.}

I would do it all over again.
I would not take back anything that I have done knowing what I know now.  Except that I might have not walked in the 60 mile walk that they think triggered all of this.  That, I am sort of regretting.
I agree with  my husband, I cannot imagine my life without our children.  I'm sure I would be well rested but other than that, I would have missed out on all the laughter, all the cuddles, all the love.  I would have missed out on witnessing the miracle, the gift God gave us.  They have over-filled my heart and continue to do so daily.  I am so grateful for not knowing my future because what if I decided not to have them?  I would have missed out on so much.  More than I could ever imagine.

We have beautiful and healthy children.  Children that bring so much joy to the world.  {At least to my world}

Children that are not showing any signs of the same illness.  Although the doctors told us it would most likely show up as adults like mine did.
Even with the bad health that has challenged me, I do have a lot of good health too.  For that, I am grateful.
I have days where I feel so good that I am sure I am ridding all of the bad parts.  Today was like that.  Until the evening when all the days energy zapped right out, but it was totally worth having a great day.  Knowing that there are great days ahead make each day a blessing.  That's how we get through the bad days.
We are not in control of our life.  He gets to decide what we get and what we don't get.  All we have to do is live in joy and be grateful for everything we are provided.  And we have been provided with plenty!
