I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability —to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this.
46 you are going to have a baby, it is like planning a fabulous vacation trip —to Italy. You 47 a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful 48 , You may learn some handy phrases 49 Italian. It's all very exciting. 50 months of eager anticipation, the day finally 51 . You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours 52 , the plane lands in Holland. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland." "Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up 53 Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed 54 going to Italy." But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland 55 you must stay. The important thing is that they haven't taken you 56 a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a 57 place.

a whole new group of people you would never have met. It's just a different place. It's slower-paced 59 Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around...and you 60 that Holland has windmills... and Holland has tulips.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy, and they're all bragging about 61 a wonderful time they had there. And for the 62 of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was 63 to go. But if you spend your life 64 the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to 65 the very special, the very lovely things about Holland. 46. A. When B. If C. As D. Before
