Out of curiosity I am fascinated by reading about the effect a child with any disability has on a family. I am 16 years old and attend North Mobile. I guess that's why it "hit-home" so much...just being around your wonderful family...not neccessarily that I know another child with down syndrome. In this particular blog, your honesty shook me up. When you referred to not being sure if you wanted the pictures from the hospital or not...I knew that if I were in your sitution, I would feel the same way. Which I know would be wrong, and I believe that if it were any other person writing their thoughts and feelins for their child on something like this...they would have simply <I>left that part out</I>. But you did not. You might not think so, but I see that as being brave, too. Because, anyone that reads that could say.."I can't believe she went as far as to write something like that..especially about that poor beloved child." But you were brave enough to write what you were really thinking...to maybe even give courage to other families going through what you are. You never know who this could reach, someone desperate..in need of hope..and of encouraging words..that you offer in your blogs. As I was reading about the part I mentioned earlier..about the photograph..I started balling my eyes out. I can't even imagine what you guys are feeling..and going through. And I hope that one day God will give me unnatural strengths that He has obviously given to you. I'll be praying for you..and baby Victoria. God bless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
