Remember the old woman who lived in a shoe? I'm a lot like her, with a husband and varying numbers of children in our 100-year-old farmhouse. This blog is about our lives.
Dorcas, Through your blog and books, I usually take in bits of your life and never give anything back. So.. today I had to comment on your column. My husband and I are the parents of quadruplets who were born 3 months premature. It was an amazing journey with near death, many tears (both theirs and ours), every 3 hour feeds, 40 diapers a day etc. But every day I give God thanks for such a wonderful gift. There was pressure by the doctor to "reduce", to give the remaining more strength. A horrific thought. I knew that if these little ones were to be weak their whole life then my lifes journey would be to give them strength and love.
Knew some of this story already through your blog and facebook.....but enjoyed reading it again anyways....and thought you summed it all up and tied it together perfectly in the last paragraph. Good job! Also love the comment above this one....especially the last sentence. Blessings to that dear Mother whoever she is!!
