Happy October's Mother's Day, Jade Hooper Holmes!
She's my daughter-in-love, and she's a rock star mother juggling a late teens special needs daughter, a typical 3-year-old, two other boys (11 and 15) along with a dog named Reko, a black kitty named Esmeralda, Sally the coon dog, Mr. Turtle, assorted cousins, and sometimes a snake or two plus her SuperHubby and (Great-Granny) Nanny (age 98) all in the same little house tucked under the trees, rhodendron, and laurel beside a mountain stream.
Daughter Vania has had serious cardio issues since her birth 17+ years ago. When she caught an upper respiratory infection recently, she got clobbered especially hard. Finally two days ago she ended up at Mission Memorial Children's Hospital for respiratory and oxygen therapy.
On the way Jade and Vania were stunned by the beauty of the sky. Pink is Vania's favorite color, hands down! Jade posted on Facebook what she told Vania: Vania - Look! God made the clouds pink just for you!
Another post describes a midnight popsicle party with pictures! ... in the hospital!
October is Down Syndrome Awareness and Celebration month. I celebrate the blessing Down Syndrome is in my life in the beauty of our sweet Vania and her very special mom! (published with permission)
