Through these little loves of ours, we are all connected, and I have made some amazing friends,
some unbelievably caring, faithful and amazing friends.
I love this family of ours so much, that I wanted to get a family photo taken,
but seeing as how 'our family', pretty much covers the four corners of the earth, I am thinking a photo shoot in the park next Sunday, isn't going to be too feasible.
But I am not one to give up when I have my mind set on something,
AND I WANT A FAMILY PICTURE darn it!!
SO....
I know there are so many little loves out there, with that 'little extra something', that aren't pictured. I am so sorry to leave anyone out, Presley and I love you ALL!
But to keep it simple, I just collected photos from those of you who rallied Presley through this last ordeal.
Furthermore, in no way do I want to slight those lovely blog friends out there who don't have a child with that 'little extra something'.
ALL of you mean every bit as much.
But, the truth of the matter is,
I am here,
in this blogging world to begin with,
because two years ago I was feeling very afraid, very alone and very confused.
And it was here, that I reached out,
to others who reached back,
and helped me realize,
that there was no reason to be scared,
that I wasn't alone,
and that in due time,
I would no longer be one bit confused about why I was chosen for this little love of mine,
I would only be thankful that I was.

It's beautiful!
You shocked me more than the earthquake we just had!! Here I was expecting you to ask us to send you pictures like I was doing (which by the way, I need one of Presley) and then I scroll down a bit and see that you are AMAZINGLY creative!! I can't believe you did that...wait a second, of course I believe it...all I have to do is look at that beautiful button you made Ella to see your talent. Can you email your collage to all of us? But you are right, I think we all agree that we truly are one, big, most amazing family and I don't know how I would have gotten through the last two years without Y'all either!! Love you so much and am so thrilled that you are home. Kept thinking about you being at home and wanted to send a text but spent too much time in the car today.
I am pretty speechless myself...this is an absolutley beautiful "family photo" you have made. Thanks.
Like Denise says this blog family is so amazing and this support system we have here is undoubtedly unique. I just know that it has helped me in a way I never ever thought it would. Even coming to terms initially with DS and what it would signify in my life has totally changed after being part of this family.
We share a special bond, whether we ever get to meet or not, and I hope even when our kids are older we can still be a part of each others lives. Just think how special that will be.
MIRJAM!!!???!?!
now, I'm crying.
thanks

I agreee with Denise I thought you wanted us to send pictures ;), just amazing, what program did you use? love it.I wish we could all get together for a real photo shoot too. Isn't it funny how we all do feel like family even though many of us have not met in person? It is such a great feeling to know you all are here.Ilove my "family"
Beautiful! I am pretty new to your blog, but I am SO thankful that your sweet little love is out of the hospital and doing better!
My daughter Faith is 14 months old and such a blessing to our family. I can't wait to get to "know" our T21 family. What a blessing :)
wow.. this looks so beautiful..
I just love it
You have the most beautiful family in the world!
Love it!
Oh,Kele,how sweet!!!
So lovely and thoughtful, Kele. Since Red doesn't have a little extra something, we can't be part of your immediate family...perhaps we can be cousins? :)
Lots of hugs to you, as always.
Awww that is sweet :)
I'm soooo happy you all are home!
