I thought I was already following too many blogs for optimal mental health, but I'm definitely going to have to add yours.

Thanks for sharing your story--so generous, so beautiful.<br /><br />For what it's worth, I had a totally different pregnancy experience with Maybelle, but I had some very similar feelings re: DS (i.e. I was certain there was no way I could handle having a child with a cognitive disability, and now I couldn't be more grateful for her presence in my life).<br /><br />At some point in the not-so-distant future, I'm going to be contacting you about some interviews I'll be doing this summer as part of a research project. This piece of writing answers a bunch of the questions I'm wanting to ask some mothers.Alison Piepmeierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972854288403934814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364575095827041469.post-86053305917018858912011-04-07T08:01:16.730-05:002011-04-07T08:01:16.730-05:00S - Waves really are such an apt metaphor for grie...S - Waves really are such an apt metaphor for grief, aren't they? You're fine, enjoying the beach & the sun, then a rogue wave knocks you down at the most unexpected moment. <br /><br />J - When we get closer, I'm going to start cyberstalking you. :) Because I'm sure you have time to answer a gazillion inane questions.

Thinking of you today. <br />PS - Don't let the RAD scare you, really! Adopt domestically, keeping birth order, a little one, you might get issues but you can handle it and the RAD in the small ones is different than it is with my big ones and with little ones it means you sepdn a lot of time with them, playing, teaching them to be a kid and I am sure your daughter would love that extra time with Mama.stellarparenting.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975942737904876508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364575095827041469.post-65773530679072412712011-04-06T07:55:09.604-05:002011-04-06T07:55:09.604-05:00I didn't get but one copy in my reader.

I don't think glow in the woods is wallowing- for me its paying homage to our grief and when it rises up to choke we need the validation to digest it until the next wave.

Thanks for taking the time to read my little novella. It means a lot to me. As does being here, having this space, which gave me the the means to meet you. There IS a community & y'all are fabulous. xoxoxo.<br /><br />Also, my sister said that she got about 78 copies in her Reader as I kept tweaking the darn thing - I rewrote a whole new last paragraph as I was driving in on Monday (mentally writing, of course - I promise both hands were on the wheel!). So, Whoops! Sorry about that. :)krlrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392064691347464660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364575095827041469.post-76393181952884361882011-04-04T21:58:45.272-05:002011-04-04T21:58:45.272-05:00I am so moved by your generosity and honesty.

The vision of a little girl in the sun, I will not forget that image especially having myself a girl who brings the sun into my own cynical heart.<br />Have you ever heard of Glow in the woods site?
