We have a sweet boy, Baker, who was born with DS. There was not, nor has there been grief, but there have been fears and worry. <br /><br />Praying for you and thankful for your boldness!<br /><br />http://bakerisourdreamcometrue.blogspot.comJennifer Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333952463989693365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-60920843278242293222013-01-24T14:11:11.341-05:002013-01-24T14:11:11.341-05:00I would be surprised if someone asked me if I had ...I would be surprised if someone asked me if I had grieved ~I think that is a very personal question. But I guess it depends on who asked me. <br /><br />I have grieved and been through the grief cycle. It helped me to heal and grow as a person. We all have different ways to handle and cope with all the things we are handed in this life. We grieve (or not) on our own time frame. <br /><br />~ JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-11616078685461702062013-01-17T20:56:35.234-05:002013-01-17T20:56:35.234-05:00I think there are little heart brakes along the wa...I think there are little heart brakes along the way.

Now she is 16 I just enjoy her for who she is and it is my feelings about my son with aspergers that I struggle with. They are similar, but because it is 'autism' his difficulties become more pronounced as he gets older which I find heart breaking xxLooking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-52585380053790667252013-01-16T23:54:04.240-05:002013-01-16T23:54:04.240-05:00I wrote this a while ago, while I was still in den...I wrote this a while ago, while I was still in denial that my son's only problem was a speech delay...http://www.findingninee.com/our-grass-is-green/<br />I have to say that I guess I actually have grieved a little bit. I've been sad over losing the son I thought I gave birth to and how the son I have is nothing like him. That's not to say that I don't fiercely love my baby boy and that if had I a chance to clone him, just as he is, that I'd not hesitate because I wouldn't. I love love love him, just as he is. But I have grieved. I'm a first time mom, and was 40 when I had my little heart. I worry about him once I'm gone, so ya, it makes me sad that he might not have "people" once I'm gone...and for that, I grieve. <br /><br />With that said, I love your attitude. I love you blog, and I think Boo is perfect, just the way she is. (As is my son Tucker...he's perfect as he is). Maybe it's just because I'm so old. But I did grieve a little for the three year old I thought would be talking to me by now. <br /><br />Although I guess we're in different camps when it comes to this, I hope you know how much I adore following Boo's progress and your thoughts....<br /><# Kristi Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340629559188847788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-59932444646862975422013-01-16T14:23:42.755-05:002013-01-16T14:23:42.755-05:00Amen!Amen!Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728106748390605243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466533746136321142.post-7821489519184810942013-01-16T12:10:48.824-05:002013-01-16T12:10:48.824-05:00Hi Kerri,

It is easy to compare Boo with other "typical" children her age. ;)<br />And here's the thing. When I wrote that Boo is Beautifully Unique, I meant it.

When asked if they could make Kelli normal if they had the chance, they reply that Kelli would not be Kelli if she were normal. To say they have struggled would be an understatement, but Kelli is perfect just the say she is ... as is Boo. It does not make daily life any easier, I am sure, but that's what I think. :)Stacey Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352989875183758588noreply@blogger.com
