On this day….

November 5th, 2009

12 months ago my sweet little Lara May was born.  We never could have envisiaged the changes she would bring with her.  Both to our day to day lives and to ourselves – the way we think, the people that we are.  I will say that some of those changes have not been to my liking.  No-one ever wants a child with a disability.  We all dream of perfection and wonder for those sweet little beings growing inside of us.  Lara is just a different kind of perfection!

    I love the way you worded that Madonna: “A different kind of perfection”. Happy Birthday little Lara.

    Happy Birthday to the big one year old beautiful girl. She still has those fabbo squeezy cheeks one year on. Your Mummy bought a tear to my eye with those wonderful words. Keep on being beautiful Lara and you are soooooooo lucky to have been born into such a loving family.

    Happy birthday to your sweet angel. No doubt you have been through many difficult days; I do know how you feel. There are days that are really nice too…I have learned a lot from Julia & Kathryn. I would have a very difficult time walking in their shoes, especially Julia, since she can’t express herself verbally. I would be so frustrated and unhappy! Believe me, she can have some serious meltdowns, but most of the day she is happy and smiling…she’s my hero.

    Belated Happy Birthday to Lara. And congrats to you Mads, your hubby and your other cherubs for reaching this big milestone with Lara. I think of you often Madonna and am still amazed at your rapid and cheerful adjustment to the changes Lara has brought with her. Keep up the fabulous parenting…Love KimT
