I was forty. Forty years is more than enough time to figure out yourself and your world, I thought I had; but I really hadn’t…and then Thaniel came.
Thane is my ninth child. That’s more than enough kids to figure out what kind of parent you are, and I thought I had; but I hadn’t. The truth of the matter is, each child has profoundly changed me.
But none so much as Thaniel.
Thaniel has Down syndrome, and for the weeks that I knew for sure (two) before he was born, Down syndrome had me. I cried, then researched everything I could and then put on a (false) brave face and got ready to meet him.
Since that day little more than a year ago I have been transformed, have been up-cycled, have been sent on a journey without an itinerary. And all I can say about the journey so far is.
Thank you.
Thank you God and Thaniel for showing up. These pages are my thoughts on the whole awesome sauce thing.
Pammellah Joy I Love You and Miss You hope you are well.
