    Lots of tears here reading their birth story, such a brave thing she has done sharing with such honesty. What a gorgeous baby girl.

    It just as powerful after a few years and read several times.

    I think it's a great reminder about the beauty of all life, and the joy in everything.

    Amazing words though. The honesty rips me apart.

    I broke down reading these words
    Love me. Love me. I'm not what you expected, but oh, please love me.
    , and bawled for the rest of the story :cry

    Thankyou so much for sharing Trillian
    I've read them before and broke down reading them again.

    This story gave me an insight to what my mum went through - i was 9 going on 10 and she gave birth to my sister, who only after birth found out she had down syndrome......
    I cried, joyful, hurtful and over all emotional tears, for both her story and mine xo

    I remember reading this when you first posted it and the emotional impact is exactly the same now.

    I didn't know about Kelle and her family until Trillian posted this, and I've read every blog post ever since. I just love the way she doesn't write about Downs Syndrome all the time - she writes about her family and her girls, as if to show that DS doesn't define Nella OR their family. A beautiful family
