My first
official post
I am excited.
I want my journey to mean something for someone else. The truth is I need a way
to connect and make life easier for people like me. My head is busting with
this idea of telling the world. “I am the mother to a child of a Special Needs
person & I rock”! It is hard. Hard work. Did I say it was hard? I assure you
on “D-Day” (diagnosis day) I was not smiling.
I smile now. Truth, when I am having a bad day, hit by a truck kind of
day. Sometimes the sight of my son is the only thing that can turn my frown
upside down. Although I once thought I could only be happy if my son
“recovered”, that time came and went and I did not die, in fact I am totally at
peace with my son’s path. I get strength for other moms like me. Not just the
ones whose children have the same diagnosis as my son. This is a place in the
web where special moms unite. Whether you get the news your child is special on
the day of their birth, when they are 2, or after a tragic accident. You are in
good company. There are host of angels rallying behind you to not only assist
your special creation in their special form, but lift their special mom as
well. Sometimes I think of myself years ago leaving the developmental
pediatrician’s office with the official diagnosis in hand. I was angry and
bitter. I wish I could tell that person now, Give up the grief and get out of
your own way and let the miracles of this challenging life unfold into the work
of art it was meant to be, I would wipe her tears and say “I know you cannot
possibly imagine how, but it is going to be okay”.
Welcome
Special Moms to Special Kids
