DSDAD.... I am without words. I could of been the person writing that story just 12 (almost) years ago. I felt and relived all of those thoughts and feelings when my son Chase was born. I salute Yehuda's father for being so brave to share his inner most thoughts and feelings with us. It takes a brave person to say "no this is NOT what I wanted", to admit how he truely felt when his child was born with DS. It is exactly how I felt, the shock was almost more then I could bear. But now, as I look back over the last 12 years of life with Chase, I cannot imagine my life without Chase. He has shown me how to stop and look around at every magical moment, to celebrate life, to expirence love as I would never have without him. Chase is love, he is all goodness, he is beautiful, he is life. Thank you to Yehuda's dad for reminding me how special my son truely is. Life is much much different from what I thought it would be, not at all what I would of originally have chosen, but......much like the poem about Holland and Italy, ..... indeed, it is a wonderful life.
love to you all and my sweet son Chase, who will be celebrating 12 unbelievable, laughter filled years Sunday with us, where has the time gone?
Robin
