My husband and I both could totally glance into her sweet soul after seeing her for just a moment. Her smile is one of the most captivating and truly beautiful smiles I have ever seen. She (and you too!) are an inspiration to so many and I know that it is a honor for you to be her mom. If someone else does not get that (as annoying as it is!), they are the ones that are truly missing out and I feel sorry for them!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926915232445773060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989520058867237618.post-25617313489370767232010-08-03T19:45:03.949-06:002010-08-03T19:45:03.949-06:00That is definitely a gorgeous picture; worth all t...That is definitely a gorgeous picture; worth all the effort!<br /><br />I absolutely love your post; the comparison of life with the picture was truely inspiring.

People tend to forget that we don't choose these lives! Of course we'd prefer for our child to be healthy, but healthy or not, we love them 100%! And I can so relate to the hidden hands holding her up and the head control that only lasts a second.Reagan Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276933188608521229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989520058867237618.post-82924712160626401862010-07-28T09:29:42.391-06:002010-07-28T09:29:42.391-06:00Wow.

I know that it is not a burden, and I know what a blessing she is. I just see such a great strength and power in you, and I wish I had that in myself. But then I think that it is probably there. We are all stronger than we think we are. I hope that you know how much I look up to your strength and wisdom, and don't think less of me for wondering how you do it. I know that is with the help of angels, and I am envious of the spirit that you get to feel everyday being in Chloe's presence. I see it in her eyes, even in the photos. I love you, Tara!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749753671920225625noreply@blogger.com
