Do you know author of, or have a copy of, the article written many years ago about a Mom who discovers that she has a handicapped child? She says that being pregnant is like preparing for a trip to Paris -- you plan, you study Paris maps and guidebooks, you're prepared for Paris, excited about Paris, then you find out your plane is going to Holland. And you're horribly disappointed -- and jealous of all your friends who went to Paris and brought back photos of the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. But while you're in Holland, you find the beauty in the tulips and windmills and you realize that Holland is not Paris, but it can be just as beautiful. So then when her friends showed off photos of their soccer stars and spelling bee champs, she felt just as proud and happy to show photos of her little angel whose accomplishments that day may have just been to string 2 sentences together. Anyway, I'm so anxious to find this article so if you know a link or a source, please let me know!
