The dwarf
turned seventeen the other day
where has
the time gone?
A few years
ago
walking down
the corridor of PCH
to get her
annual mri scan
I had an out
of body experience
I felt my
feet leave the ground
and it
seemed like my entire past with Ali
came flying
by me and I had an overwhelming
sense of
peace come of over me
and then
within seconds
my feet were
back on the ground
I really
can't explain it
but to say
that somehow I knew everything was going to be okay
living with
a dwarf has not been easy
but it has
been so worth it
I wouldn't
change a thing
It saddens
me today
to know that
people are having tests to make sure their babies are okay
and if
they're not, making some tough decisions
on what to
do with a child that is not perfect in the eye's of this world
all I can
say is that they are missing out
on so much
JOY
every child
is PERFECT
I wouldn't
trade the past seventeen years for anything
Thank you
God for blessing us with her
For her
birthday
she wanted
to go to Chris Bianco's Italian Restaurant
he is the
famous pizza chef that lives in Arizona
since we
kind of have a history with him and ali
I called him
over to take a picture with her
Thanks Chris
for making Ali's day
and by the
way
the food was
to die for
I can't wait
to go back

Happy Birthday to your sweet girl. Do you know my dil had some tests because of some "abnormalities" they though they saw and suggested she have an abortion. She said-absolutely not- My son said- Absolutely not. They delivered a perfect girl who is now 13 and an honor student and okay in every sense of the word. So, is it one of God's miracles or could some of those tests be wrong? It is heartbreaking when those that want children so badly can't have them and others sweep them away like yesterday's trash. God was good to you and gave you a beautiful gift...she's just in a smaller package. What's that old saying? Good things come in small packages? You've got living proof, Petie..right there! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteIts a crazy world we live in and I love your thought on "a smaller package". Hugs...
ReplyDeletePetie, what a beautiful daughter you have and what a contagious smile! If only the perfect would be born-what an empty world we would live in. Happy birthday to your baby.
