One of these days, I will finally finish my account of Rebekah's hospital stay. I have it all in a doc, just am not finding the time to get it moved over here and psot with pics. I really want to do this for future T-18 moms so they have something to validate there feelings and get a glimpse into what a t-18 world is like.
In the meantime, I had to post this song. It is incredible. How I love my little Rebekah and she is my "Wonder"...
"Wonder" by Natalie Merchant
Here are the lyrics:
Doctors have come
from distant cities
just to see me
stand over my bed
disbelieving what they're seeing
they say I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as they see they can offer
no explanation
newspapers ask
intimate questions
want confessions
they reach into my head
to steal the glory
of my story
they say I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as they see they can offer
no explanation
I believe
fate smiled and destiny
laughed as she came to my cradle
"know this child will be able"
laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
with love, with patience
and with faith
she'll make her way"
people see me
as a challenge
to your balance
I'm over your heads
how I confound you
and astound you
to know I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as you can see you can offer me no explanation
I believe
fate smiled and destiny
laughed as she came to my cradle
"know this child will be able"
laughed as she came to my mother
"know this child will not suffer"
laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
with love, with patience
and with faith
she'll make her way"
