Having a special needs child is so hard. Joshua is high level and knows he is different and it hurts him so bad. He wants friends but finds it hard to relate to the other kids. The school district stepped in and made some very important corrections and implemented a plan that if is followed could benefit Josh. I just am trying to trust the school to follow through. That is hard for me. REALLY HARD!
I don't mean to wait so long to write. Some times it just happens. But man it always feels so good when I can!
My heart goes out to you and your daughter. I am the mother of a special needs child. My son Joshua has Aspergers a form of Autism. We are very lucky in the fact that is a very high functioning Autism, but there have been many struggles along the way with daycare and the school system. When I was pregnant I obsessed about Autism, it was almost like I somehow knew. I love my son very much but I was not prepared for the special help I would need. It was almost as if my two older had been cookie cutter children and this one was a free hand creation. The stress all of this put on our small family was almost crushing, but we lived because thats all you can do.
I also work for a state contracted company assisting DD adults. The institutions are long gone but these companies help individuals live in the community with full lives. Your grandson could benefit from a program like this and your daughter would be able to have some relief. I have seen some of these clients blossom in a way nobody thought was possible.
Oh Jon I am sorry. I know that no matter how old our parents die it still seems WAY to soon. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Oh that pic got me! So sad for all those that lost everything. I am glad you can shower now and I am glad Hobbie is home with his daddy!
Agreed!
I admire your commitment to help these poor animals. I also feel the same about Jon and his kitty. It is not only a whole lot of money but the emotional stress I am sure is overwhelming.
Its too bad.
Thank you Jon!
Yes I have been reading it! It is nice to not feel so alone!
Oh Janet I have missed you! Our to do list look so similar!
