I think all to often I have felt disappointed that the daughter I dreamed about while pregnant turned out to be one of three biggest blessings in my life...
I dreamed when I was pregnant with Taylor that she would grow up to be a doctor or a lawyer or heck why not both? I dreamed that she would play with other kids from the time she could walk and talk... little did I know that with Taylor that wasnt going to happen till she was almost two... To be told your daughter needs to stay in the NICU and you need to go home and rest was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do... I felt like I wasnt a mother to her and that she would be scared while I was gone... I think that this woman sums it up perfect and I can not wait to read her book and cry tears of understanding!
The point is when you have a child you want what is best for them and that doesnt change with a diagnosis... I still want the best for Taylor even when people tell me not to dream so big.
