"Standing outside the fire"... our current theme song

My husband asked me why i chose this song for this blog?! I asked him if he remembered the music video. And then proceed to pull the song up from you tube...

I Chose this one because it gives me the confidence that One day Castian will strive to achieve his dreams and overcome the obstacles faced before him. And me as his mother will stand back and cheer him on.

When we had the Castian prenatal diagnosis of T21, we chose life. It was a choice 90% of people with the same diagnosis DO NOT MAKE! we chose to stand inside the fire and live the life worth living.
I can tell you that HONESTLY! that my life as it is now is not one i wouldn't willingly chose BEFORE Castian ....In the end Castian chose us to be his parents, God chose us to be his parents, we in the end chose to be Castians parents... I AM SO GRATEFUL and AMAZED sometimes that I, That We get to be this amazing little boys parents. Yes i do have my fleeting thoughts of what life would be like had he had 46 chromosones instead of 47, and quickly realize that life would be ...in a word ..."NORMAL". I for one can tell you I am NOT NORMAL.... I am different than most people. I don't exactly know what it is.... i just am :-) I Love Castian and his 47 Chromosones and will tell you as most parents with T21 family members ... " I didn't know i wanted a child with Ds until I was given one"
