I am, however, so glad I read this post about your son Jade. I cried as you described so many of the same feelings and worries I have about my daughter. She sounds so similar to your son. You happened to write the post on the day she turned eight. We have had many doctors appointments trying to figure out what is wrong but no answers & no diagnosis. This post has actually helped me so much in my searching for our own daughter and I think I finally have a lead onto what we should have tested thanks to your post. I hadn't heard of Williams syndrome until now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527772933880774083.post-65843475321991941312012-02-25T12:04:15.543-07:002012-02-25T12:04:15.543-07:00Kimmie,

As I was reading about Jade, several children who I have worked with over the years, flash through my mind. They're wonderful children, who just can't get it together cognitively. They struggle, their parents struggle and yet those kids capture our hearts. <br />Jade's smile would melt anyone's heart. His desire to run is so impressive to me. <br />You are an amazing woman, Kimmie. I think I can safely say that there are many who look to you as an example of Christ-like love.<br />Give Jade and Ethan a hug from me.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140268328645099689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527772933880774083.post-82257130800113123452012-02-23T22:30:30.698-07:002012-02-23T22:30:30.698-07:00This was so beautiful to read.

I learn so much from my nephew Lane. He has fragile X syndrome. I love that he loves the simple things in life. I loved that you share that Jade is always proud of himself when he finishes track. He doesn't care that he was last. He is such a handsome boy and his baby pictures are darling. You are a great mom and I loved that you shared this with us! I love you Kimmie!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582831474713999563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527772933880774083.post-25304980703986955812012-02-23T16:24:54.036-07:002012-02-23T16:24:54.036-07:00What a trial, What a blessing.

He graduated 2 years ago.. and I have been amazed at the things he has done. There is MUCH he can't do... and will not ever be able to do.. but it's interesting at how much we CELEBRATE Kyle's achievements...<br /><br />Through Kyle.. I have learned to appreciate the small things. -- Simple pleasures. I am sure you feel the same way.. and that's why you find so much "Joy in your Journey." <br /><br />Love you.Ann Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374067182519089756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527772933880774083.post-76128580652566491012012-02-22T17:12:37.983-07:002012-02-22T17:12:37.983-07:00I don't even know where to begin. My thoughts...I don't even know where to begin. My thoughts are racing. <br />All of the children I have ever met who have some type of disability similar to Jade's, or along those same lines, have been the most wonderful, loving, sweet and kind people I have truly ever met.<br />I think that some are given these struggles and disabilities because they are truly angels - we all need to learn from them. I am sure Jade just loves people and thinks the best of everyone and is truly happy because he is loved. He is...GOOD.<br />We all need examples of Good in our lives.<br />I know this sounds cliche' and I do not mean it to be at all. I truly truly believe that only some people are gifted with these sweet souls - He is a huge blessing and you are blessed to have him and to be his mother. <br />I can't wait to meet Jade!CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911579093553356167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527772933880774083.post-907821259789830512012-02-22T16:07:08.969-07:002012-02-22T16:07:08.969-07:00I know this was a difficult post to write but prob...I know this was a difficult post to write but probably one that you needed to write - to articulate for yourself and for others.

I love that you titled it "Becoming Jade's Mom" - because I believe Heavenly Father sends His precious ones to us and we get to BECOME what they need. It truly is a process! And we learn and grow right along with them, like you said! :) Thanks so much for sharing this part of your life. I will keep your family in my heart and prayers. I know it must be a difficult balancing act -- I just know the Lord will continue to strengthen you in your efforts!!Our Paper Plateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880507243787154197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527772933880774083.post-70349290210250452052012-02-22T12:44:31.813-07:002012-02-22T12:44:31.813-07:00He is so blessed to have you!
