Who Do I Love More?

The truth is, I do not love Vera and Daen equally.

I love them differently.

With Vera, it's a fierce, protective, constantly pre-occupying kind of love.

With Daen, it's a calm, relaxed, joyful kind of love.

I get a fuzzy feeling when stuff like this dawns upon me. It feels like my 'understanding' has expanded. Perhaps this is the invisible gift parents receive from their children.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts May. Parenting these little miracles certainly enriches your life. While I have not experienced that personally as our chance was taken by doctors who thought they knew best, I have seen it time and time again in the many trisomy families I know. It is not an easy road but all of the struggles and tears enrich lives so much. It is indeed a gift.
