Hi Friends, Thank you very much for your comments, mails and phone calls. It means a lot to me. Initially, I was scared to let people know that my baby has a chromosomal abnormality. I myself believe that we pay for our sins in this life itself. So, after Navya's DS diagnosis I started self evaluation, why me? I must have done something wrong to someone that's why GOD has punished me, all my dreams were shattered, lost confidence. (I think almost all go through this cycle). In this difficult time my husband was my pillar of support. He gave me the strength to carry on.
Every single spare minute I was surfing Internet. Initially it was all Bad things that I read and got depressed. Then I started reading about the inspirational stories of Adults with DS and then came the Blog world and I read about Ella Grace. Then the other blogs related to DS and I realised I AM NOT ALONE. What I also noticed was all families said their child got immense joy and unconditional love to them. It did not take much time for me to realise the same. I got a different perspective now; I believe GOD chose us because GOD thinks we can give her all the love and care she deserves. We are BLESSED. GOD has a special place for us being Navya’s parents. Some of you might think it’s a way of consoling yourself. May be you are right, but you need some strength to carry on and you need to be in our situation to understand the feeling.
Now I thank GOD for sending us such a joy, we know there would be challenges ahead, I am sure we will get the strength to face those as well.
I am also sure raising her will teach us various lessons of life which we would have not learnt otherwise.
I know it’s a heavy dose; I will spare you from the other thoughts.
