It is a strange feeling knowing we have lived long enough to be part of history. I remember another side of that social change when terminations were still so difficult to access they were practically illegal, and the surgeon who performed mine had his rooms and home raided by the police seeking medical records. And today I recall back 36 years to when we had just been approved as adoptive parents by the then Social Welfare system, only to have that joyous prospect abruptly overturned by that year's Easter road toll.
Life is a funny business. We set out with all these dreams and plans never really grasping how they can collapse or explode - in an instant, until it happens to each of us. Life really is about strength and resilience, and through those switches and turns we are made anew as the years go by. Looking back on my interesting life I see few regrets and so many times of incredible happiness that balance out the challenges. I am a very fortunate woman, and this adventure aint over yet!
