Thank you all for the support and comments on the last couple entries. I can't express how important your support was and still is

I'm glad you're finding so much support out there for you. Having a good net of friends/family always makes things easier.

That's a very nice little story/metaphor.

We really need some rain!

You should see Dad's onions. o.O Don't even try to count 'em.

I agree! And seeing the real-life examples helps too. There's still so much outdated info out there and around us--one of Christian's coworkers told Christian people with DS only live to be in their 20's--and the average today is 60!

Yep, a little rain for April would be nice!

Haha, I saw them today...his plants sure are looking good!

That Holland metaphor is profound.

*hugs* Before you even knew it, there were already people around you that would be able to help you with this new path. :)

I bet when Caden arrives, you won't even think twice about calling or picking up the phone, doing this or that. It'll become second nature to you. :)

Thoughts and prayers are still with you three. Spring is the season of hope!

Yeah, that one and a piece from one other blog run through my mind a lot: "All parents have to grieve the loss of the perfect child they thought they were having, but most people get to do it in tiny increments spread over several decades. With Down syndrome, you know right away that your child isn’t the athletic brain scientist with a model’s body that you thought you were having." Lol!

*hug* You're right--the Lord is really looking out for us!

I hope so!

Thank you! I hope the spring is full of hope and good fortune for you as well. =)

Ha, ha! It took me awhile to get it, lol.

*hugs* Yes!

Thanks. :D
