Words of encouragement,wanted to share..........

I was sitting in my bed in the early morning hours the other day so

tired and wondering once again,WHY ME! All the questions were rolling

around my head like,Why my baby? Is this ever gonna end? What will he

be like as he grows up? Will he have any lasting problems and will he

remember all the hurt of tort therapy? I really wanted to just sit

and have a good cry, but over the monitor came that old familiar

sound and I was up and off to get my little boy. As I walked into his

room the dim morning light was just entering through his window and

I could see him. Laying in his crib on his tummy peeking over the

bumper pads waiting for me. As he saw me a huge smile came across his

face, and with the lighting he looked just like a little angel. Then

it dawned on me. I remembered that God doesn't give you a load you

cannot bear. We are given these babies for one reason or another, and

they are here the way they are to serve a higher purpose. Maybe it is

to help make thousands more aware, thereby saving them from this

terrible deformity. Maybe it is to make us better people for having

gone through this. They are special. Special doesn't have to be

smart, or cute or famous, special can be one baby teaching thousands

that it's ok not to be perfect. Special can be one baby that has

taught you not turn away when you see a child with a birth defect.

Special can be one baby that has taught you to reach out and help

people. Special can be one baby that has renewed your faith in the

world. I know that since my journey into the world of plagio began, I

have become a different person. Had it not been for Dominick's

plagio, I would not have met all the wonderful people on this website

and received the support and felt the caring I have felt. I know

that my Dominick is just the way he was meant to be and there is for

some reason a bigger plan than I could ever have for him, so it is up

to me to live up to the responsibilities of having a SPECIAL baby.

Thank you, Carol. We have all felt this way and it's nice to see it

in writing. This should be saved on this site somehow. A " classic

letters " file?

Thank you to the moderators who started this site and are helping

people everyday. I felt like I was losing it until I found this site

with all the helpful people and information.

This is how I felt recently as well. The one thing that has kept me

personally up in spirits is the wonderful news that we don't have to

have surgery. However, daily I wake up thinking why do we have to

do this. I am so thankful for this website and this phenomenal

group of women (and men!) that have helped me through the past two

months. I would be lost and alone without it since no one here had

even heard of plagio!

Your post brought tears to my eyes. You are right.... every child

has a purpose in this world and God doesn't give you anything you

can't handle. And just remember, " perfect " is in the eye of the

beholder and what's INSIDE is the most important!

Hey Carol

thank you for sharing these wonderful thoughts.

The phrase I picked for Willow's Baptism was: That every new birth

shows us that God has not lost his interest in the human being yet.

I'm not good at traslating, but it's in German. That is how your

thoughts made me feel. )

I agree with you there is a reason for everything, We

don't always understand or know why but " GOD " dose and

i know he will only put on my plate what i can eat as

my mom would say. Are Children are special and we as

Parents do what ever we can to help them. I to have my

days and i wonder if maybe i could have done something

different but we can go though life with what if's and

i should have or i wished i did. You are doing

something about it now and that is what matters the

Most i hope " GOD " blesses all your children sweet

dreams!!
