Do you blog about your special needs family?
Join us monthly for It’s All Special: The Special Needs Link Up!
Monthly Topics: Each month
(launching at 7pm EST the first Thursday) we will link up our posts
about various special needs topics. Some will be irreverent, some will
even be taboo. All of them will be honest. Read our posts, link up your
own, leave comments and ask questions! Get a heads up about topics and
meet everyone in our Google+ Community, too!
Of course, since
we’re bloggers, we’ll be all over social media! Each month will be
something different, so follow the hosts, and be sure to use
#ItsAllSpecial!
Grab your badge of honor…
I just came across your blog and love it. I just read your latest on "One of Those Moms." I'm already a big fan. You took the words right from my mouth and I don't feel so much like a freako mom (and friend).
ReplyDeleteI recently met a mother and her daughter who was mentally impaired. I asked the "girl" how old she was and she said 16, when I'm reality she was 55. It was the cutest and honest response I had ever heard. Her mom began to tell me that she enjoys dolls, but she doesn't mind because her sisters have real babies to play with. I cried like a baby. I feel as if my friends don't have to worry if their child will have grandkids, but it is something that crosses my mind (frequently for who knows why). I just want the best for my daughter as any mother would. I try to think of things that mothers of "normal" kids will never enjoy as much as we do to weigh it out.
I've learned so much from my daughter and her handicap. And I've met so many great people, so for that I'm thankful. God blessed me more then I could've imagined with my sweet Angel. She's perfect!
