True Inspiration!

This last week has been filled with feelings I never thought I would encounter, maybe it's naivety or ignorance, call it what you will, but this past week has opened my eyes, quite widely, to this new world I am in. This world of DS. It is only because Emilia has DS that families with children with cancer or other life threatening conditions have come into my life, through my blog or others that I happen upon. This unpredictable rollercoaster ride. This past week has been filled with news of last and final rounds of chemo, (great) to final chances of life, stressful tests and then the even more stressful, waiting for results. I've been angry this past week, very very angry. I hate cancer and heart conditions and freaky conditions that no one can explain, but can somehow take a child's life. Now, don't get me wrong I haven't been living under a rock all my life, I am obviously well aware that children get cancer and are born sick, and the outcome isn't always great. I guess what I'm saying is that I never had so many beautiful faces to put with such ugly sicknesses. I've never added so many children and families to prayer lists or asked other people to pray for so, so many. Some dear, but crazy friends have commented that for some reason, I am an inspiration. No, please!No, I am not inspiring. I did nothing but give birth to Emilia, who happens to have DS, and I doubted myself the whole time I was pregnant.I started this blog mostly to give hope to anyone who may have just got the news that they are being blessed with a baby who is going to be facing some challenges , and maybe as parents they are not quite sure how that could be a blessing. I just want to give encouragement, proof that it will be all good. I got a lot more than I bargained for, this blog has opened up yet another world to me. Families bonded together, families with faith like I've never seen, going through the same scary nightmares . Comfort being found in a comment or an e-mail from someone on the other side of the country or in another country for that matter. Thousands coming together to pray and give strength to one family fighting the battle of a lifetime. If you want to see inspiration, click on the "my blog list" there you will find inspiration, and they will lead you to a hundred more inspiring families. So to all the families out there, dealing day to day with uncertainties, thank you, for your inspiration and for letting us into your lives. God Bless You, All
