The Seasoned Mom in the Tulips

Looks like I am going to be the 'older, mentoring' mama here.....It is an honor and a blessings. I'm going to enjoy popping in on occasion.....visiting this lovely garden. My son......24 on May 19 is still with us.......full of mischief.....high functioning intellectually, mentally but 'ravaged' by severe cerebral palsy. It has been a long journey......roller coaster ride in Holland....and we will likely still have to get back on it time to time. However, with time you moms will begin to run the race and find yourselves closer and closer to victories........small ones, middle sized ones, large ones, and sometimes even HUGE ones..........they come and they go..........but enjoy the good moments here.......we are all very blessed........and sometimes yes, I think we are chosen.......sometimes I wonder chosen for what......but, chosen for something big for God who brought all of us here to this place for a beautiful purpose, a beautiful language, a beautiful lesson in life other moms will not comprehend.....we do and we will.....enjoy the tulips, the windmills, the clogs.......all that is the beautiful destination on your journeys, individually and shared between you..........love, hugs, prayers, Annette
