Making a Decision - No Right or Wrong - Following Your Heart

My heart truly goes out to any family who has had to put the life of their child's hand in their own. How can you possibly choose the fate of someone who cannot speak for themselves?  How do you follow your own heart and also try to figure out what would be in your child's heart?  How is it that when it comes to your child that everything you ever thought you would do comes into question?  I still honestly believe that no one, absolutely no one, can think that they know the answer for someone else without having stepped in their shoes.  You are the only one who can decide for yourself.  You walk in your shoes.  You know the right size and fit.  Not your friends, not your family, only you!

There truly is no right or wrong, no black or white, just a lot of hazy gray.  It wasn't until we let go of our fear and listened to our hearts that the answer became very clear.  Just follow your heart and do out of love and everything else should fall into place.  Love can never be wrong, can it?
