I went to high school with Mike and have been following along with your journey on FB. You are a strong family!<br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584430796347575317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557072495696273091.post-71841286199114061382009-05-02T09:53:00.000-04:002009-05-02T09:53:00.000-04:00Susan-
I am so sorry that I am just checking in no...Susan-<br />I am so sorry that I am just checking in now...oh those pictures of Rebekah with your family are just BEAUTIFUL!! I am so thankful that the Lord has answered so many of your prayers for this journey- each of our families prayed specific things over our precious babies and He knowingly answers each one of them as He sees fit... it is incredible to watch. <br />I can't say I know how you are feeling since we didn't get that time with Maddox to bring him home, but I have a couple of friends who did if you ever want to chat (Yvette- Tristan's mom and Karen- Jacob's mom)- with them or me. However, I do want to tell you that some of my greatest fears we exactly what you just listed- taking care of the other family members, etc. You know to be patient with yourself~ enjoy each and every moment with her, as we strive to do with each of our children, and keep ever-present in your mind how God has you all firmly in the palm of His hand. <br /><br />May He always bless you for your faithfulness and your willingness to live out HIS will for your life.<br /><br />I will be praying for all of the things you mentioned and checking in often. If you want the phone numbers even for those girls (because I know your time is limited and stretched) PLEASE let me know!<br /><br />Prayers & love,<br />KenzieKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658597453777391189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557072495696273091.post-39460179370010961242009-05-02T00:18:00.000-04:002009-05-02T00:18:00.000-04:00Susan, my best friend had a baby with down syndrom...Susan, my best friend had a baby with down syndrome almost two years ago. She didn't know there was a possibility until just minutes before birth. She also sent out the Holland story. I can't say I know what you are going through but a lot of what you say reminds me of feelings she had, too. I remember saying or hearing she had to grieve the loss of a normal life. I imagine you don't have much time to grieve and so much is unknown. I wish there was something I could do. I will continue to pray, of course and ask God to touch your heart with contentment.

Your kids know me from Sunday morning at the nursery check in. Life sometimes is overwhelming. Take a break, don't worry about the house, love your children and yourself. Call me at 458-9112. I'm great with laundry and a vacuum cleaner. Remember I'm retired. Thanks for your honesty. God will bless you.

You know... maybe come stay with her so you can get a bath and a nap one morning (Thursdays work best for me, but Tuesdays can be arranged too.)<br />Again, thank you for including me in your life and Rebekah's.<br />JenniferJennifer Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383552791004229830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557072495696273091.post-35973053896494006442009-04-28T08:39:00.000-04:002009-04-28T08:39:00.000-04:00Oh Susan.
