I feel like "Holland" tries to smooth over the reality of dealing with the disables child. Thanks for the other 2 essays. Hadn't seen them, and those are much more real. <BR/><BR/>Hugs to you--we just have to take it one day at a time.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215160638117321753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-55826859448621863422008-02-13T10:51:00.000-06:002008-02-13T10:51:00.000-06:00Oddly, one of the reasons I admire you so much is ...Oddly, one of the reasons I admire you so much is because of posts like this. :) You're real. You have real fears and expectations. You see it all instead of just focusing on the good and ignoring the bad. I admire that. You've been handed challenges that would have buckled many people, yet you make it work.<BR/><BR/>I think the "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" thing is a load, too. I think He gives us some things just to see how we handle them. We still have to make our own way...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654221659666974164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-74473747219515403482008-02-12T23:45:00.000-06:002008-02-12T23:45:00.000-06:00For what it's worth--I also think the "God doesn't...For what it's worth--I also think the "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" line is a bunch of hooey.spacerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08571514401242782430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-76058129165881427132008-02-11T19:17:00.000-06:002008-02-11T19:17:00.000-06:00I never, ever liked that Holland analogy.I only cl...I never, ever liked that Holland analogy.<BR/><BR/>I only clicked the first link but it is interesting to see how others got dropped by their medical professionals too as things got rocky. Seems nobody wants to go to Holland.moplanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998309937928231527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-70364518678896809082008-02-11T13:13:00.000-06:002008-02-11T13:13:00.000-06:00I hate Welcome to Holland too.
