- I am a lonely person, with no best friends, or caring family members. But today I realized that I am actually a free person! I am free to do things that will make me happy! I'm even free to take a step into the unknown and do things I've always...
- My beautiful angel, Colleen, had health problems since her birth. Down Syndrome children usually have problems with their hearts and lungs, and in Colleen's case, these problems eventually ended her life. I knew that she would not live a long and...
- My sweet Colleen passed away 7 months ago. Because she was Down Syndrome with serious health problems, I took care of her day and night. For 22 years the two of us shared our own special little world. I was mommy of the most important person in my...
- Knowing that the New Year is around the corner, makes me feel anxious. I don't want to start a new year without Colleen! I don't want to be part of "life goes on"! At the moment I'm still in the same year that she also lived in.I cannot live in the...
- The world that I lived in for 22 years, disappeared the day Colleen passed away. I am grateful that her life long suffering has ended, and that she is now perfect in every way, in heaven with Jesus. But I miss being with her, talking to her and...
- My precious little angel, Colleen, died a month ago. She was 22, Down Syndrome, but had the mind of a 2 year old. She was the core of my whole existence! Since her passing, I am totally numb. I just can not cry. Instead all the muscles in my body...
- My Down Syndrome daughter, Colleen, died on the 12 th July, and we buried her on Friday. She suffered so much, and eventually died in ICU. I can not talk about her, but I do talk to her in my mind. I try not to think about her death. She was 22, but...
- My life had been difficult and traumatic, and still is difficult. But one thing that keeps me going, is a good sense of humor. Fortunately my 2 older children have the same attitude, and this is our secret to getting through difficult times. Humor...
- When I was a little girl, we had a few chickens in our back yard. One young hen regularly tried to "run away", and then we all had to battle to catch her and take her back to chicken-house. One day my dad got fed up with this hen, so he took her in...
- When my children were small, I used to think for them (like moms do). One day, as they were getting ready to leave for school, I told my son to put on his jersey, because it felt cold outside. He then asked me: "Mommy, is that a "have to" or a "want...
- I am a sensitive person, who always put others' needs and feelings above my own. On paper it is a good quality, but in real life it sucks! I usually end up being taken advantage of, manipulated and hurt. Having a low self esteem, has made it very...
- I never received any Valentine's day gifts, because my late husband regarded it as a waste of money. But to me such a gift is a token of appreciation, and saying "You are special to me". So yesterday I bought myself a box of chocolates and a...
- I have 3 children, and my older daughter (middle child) really gave me a hard time when she was growing up. She is my only child who were often in fights at school, who often challenged authority by doing things JUST outside the rules, started...
- My very sick Down Syndrome daughter, Colleen, is permanently using an oxygen machine for the past 2 years now. I did not realize that the authorization for her oxygen machine needs to be updated after every 12 months period, usually done by the...
