I cannot believe she is 17. Time has gone so quickly.<br /><br />We are off to Barcelona and France today. Jud feeling good. Me, so happy that we can have this wonderful trip.<br /><br />Big hugs,<br />SuzSuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665971012821588161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430822298138282874.post-71338805783004137132011-10-04T22:33:00.852-07:002011-10-04T22:33:00.852-07:00I still remember Brenna's heart surgery - vivi...I still remember Brenna's heart surgery - vividly - and how she looked the month or two before the surgery. So white. And now seeing her ruddy-cheeked...I offer up thanks that she's made it this far and this well without a second surgery! Whenever I hear from you or Mother that she's having another echocardiogram, I hold my breath until I hear the results. <br /><br />So enjoyed listening to her Saturday night...she is a very normal 17 year old!!<br /><br />Now I'll have to go wipe my own tears away.Sue Jorgensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01476028445091636916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430822298138282874.post-80173937539585504272011-10-04T17:01:03.811-07:002011-10-04T17:01:03.811-07:00Oh Lynn.

Does it make sense to say that I could feel your heart beating in it?<br /><br />I also loved yesterday's post. I didn't get to it until just now so I'm responding to it here. <br /><br />We grew up with an aunt (Mom's sister) who did not have Down's but was very obviously physically (and mentally) handicapped. I guess that's why it just never phased me as a kid for people to look different. Where we went, she went, because we've always been such a close famiy.<br /><br />I was much, much older when I realized that people were staring at her. I remember feeling fiercely defensive. <br /><br />I don't pretend to relate to you as a mom, but I do relate to your heart. Mostly, I want to tell you that your posts have made me stop and consider my wonderful grandparents. They made it look so easy to me as a kid. I don't think I ever really understood their hearts until now. I wish it were not too late to tell them so.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430822298138282874.post-77707043054570294252011-10-04T16:55:50.236-07:002011-10-04T16:55:50.236-07:00It is so hard to watch your child go through medic...It is so hard to watch your child go through medical stuff...you just want to protect them...glad Brenna is doing well now and hope she continues to in the future!Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090973681675943970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430822298138282874.post-87094477180448464672011-10-04T14:00:23.829-07:002011-10-04T14:00:23.829-07:00Oh man...here come the tears...I almost made it th...Oh man...here come the tears...I almost made it through the entire post until the very end and then they overflowed! :-) I just absolutely love that you are sharing Brenna and your journey with all of us. It makes me feel honored to get this peek at what life is like for all of you and definitely raises such an awareness for what you go through. Your last post was incredible!! I know it is totally different (comparing apples to oranges) but I have gotten some pretty crazy questions about adoption so in some small way I kind of understand wanting to just smack people! LOL! Thank you so much for being real about your life and not just showing the light and fluffy stuff! :-)<br />VanessaAt The Picket Fencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846200981778597675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430822298138282874.post-36073856828895488432011-10-04T13:00:23.333-07:002011-10-04T13:00:23.333-07:00oh the tears.
