We had such a great weekend and got to meet some wonderful new friends. Saturday morning we met the Roberts family for coffee. They are a T18 family too! It was especially good for Adam since often the fellas get left out.
Then when we were at the museum on Sat afternoon I got an email from Lisa. Someone gave Lisa the link to our blog where she found our contact info. We met Lisa and her daughter, Betty, for coffee last night. Betty has Trisomy 18 and is 6 and a half years old. They live 15mins from us!!! (I asked Lisa's permission to share this.) Like us, Lisa was given little hope when she took Betty home. What a miracle Miss Betty is! It was so much fun to hang out with them. We laughed...we cried...we made plans to hang out again.
Look at Betty trying to find Battley's arm to hold on to.

Oh Catherine, that is SO COOL! How encouraging and wow, the support you will be for one another. And it is so sweet, Betty and Battley, The Queen B's!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with comment above! You are all on a road less traveled and I'm guessing have already begun a friendship that will last forever. I have to thank you all for sharing your stories, such an inspiration to us all!
ReplyDeleteMay God continue to bless all of you and shed the Grace to continue to carry you through this difficult, but inspiring, journey
