I love yo...I'd give that pill in a second as well. I love your analogy of Ds being a third child. I sometimes feel that way too. It is like the Ds is a separate entity that we need to deal with, separate from who my son is, which of course makes no sense because it is such a big part of who he is.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057578956144840305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669141090613839538.post-6126099070430795162009-04-19T16:13:00.000-05:002009-04-19T16:13:00.000-05:00Elbog-You are so lovely and affirming!

We are both engrossed in a riddle wrapp...Oh, Annie. We are both engrossed in a riddle wrapped in an enigma, or something like that. Some of us are afraid that we'd be diminished as parents, that our love couldn't be complete if we admit what you've just said. I, of course, agree with you - and it doesn't mean that we love our children any less. My Emma is remarkably like her Mother - with T21. Oh, that there could be no paradox.
