(I put it in quotes because I'm not sure that is the right word.) I will always consider what Mae would want. Already at 17 months she is intense in her desire to catch up with my older children. It hurts to watch videos of the others at her age walking and talking and knowing she WANTS to do those things. She's the hardest working baby I have ever seen. Would I cure her? In an instant. Would I grieve losing the person I would have become by serving her? Selfishly, yes. But her life isn't mine, it's hers.
