I too got sucked into kelle’s blog after reading nella’s birth story and i find myself obsessing/stalking her blog and HER loving her photography and writing. She’s addicting as is nella. then, recently, i had similar reactions as you describe: why is it that she had umpteen friends and family piled in her hospital room, staying overnight with her after nella’s diagnosis and i had no one? why is it my own family cares so little about me and even less about my daughter who has autism and severe cognitive impairments? why is it that im bat shit crazy while kelle is pedicured with her cute shoes, 100$ hair cut, photography career and stunnning sense of style? And the final shame: why am i so jealous like a highschool drama queen with nothing better to think about?Theres always something bigger to it as you described in this post. It was so weird that you wrote about and felt the same way. But I know this: nella will not be an infant,cute and tiny forever. Someday, she’ll be 13, 18, 32 life will get really hard for kelle and i dont really think she knows yet how different it gets once they start growing up and the differences are more highlighted. My heart breaks forher and i hope she carries the same positive spirit with her when the reality of the situation really sets in. thanks for always keepin’ it real
