  postcards from holland: Learning to Love...
A year and a half ago I wrote "Learning to Love..." and posted it on the group blog, "Postcards from Holland". I'm not sure when Doug became rooted in my heart as deeply as my daughters are...but it did happen somewhere along the way...some unrecognized day in this past year and half.

I remember how it broke my heart as I wrote then that I would know when my heart loved him, because I would no longer be able to choose. As that realization reverberated through my heart, I remember fearing there might never be a time when I could not choose...but, somewhere along the way it HAS happened. I am completely his mother and he is utterly my child. I want to write another essay for "Postcards from Holland"--an essay from the other side...but, for now, these few lines in this blog will have to do, I guess.

  • Annika is my niece. She was born with bilary atresia and had to have her first major surgery at the age of 6 weeks. Just before she turned a year old, she had to have a liver transplant. Two and a half months later, she had to have a second transplant. Now, five years old, she needs a third transplant and her family's insurance is nearly maxed out so a COTA fund has been established to raise the money needed.
    (Please click on the little bear button above to donate to her COTA account or to view the raffles and other projects that are in progress to build the fund. If you have crafts, etc, that you could donate to be sold/raffled, this would also help greatly!)
