When I do see the future it scares me a lot! But, I try and take it one day at a time. Whenever E learns something new, I smile and think back to the days when I thought he would NEVER learn how to do X, Y, Z. Sometimes the demands of therapy, doctor's appointments, etc. can seem so overwhelming that I wish he would hurry and get to a point where he can manage some things on his own...but then I slow down. I don't want him to grow up so fast! That scary future is too close. It is hard to believe this is my life sometimes too, so I am totally with you! And, as a favorite quote of mine goes:<br /><br />"I never think on the future--it comes soon enough." ~Albert EinsteinMandy (Everett's Mom)http://e-man1.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453865880498528069.post-57328462520330771652011-06-21T11:46:30.555-04:002011-06-21T11:46:30.555-04:00Dear Maggie,
We haven't talked in so long. I ...Dear Maggie,<br />We haven't talked in so long. I remember great times we had in High School and loving you as a friend. I have been touched by your stories since Rachel has arrived to you and Steven. I don't have a special needs child, so I couldn't begin to imagin all of the feelings you go through on a daily basis. I can tell you that my heart melts every time I read your posts about Rachel. She is such a beautiful girl! You are just the mom for such an amazing little person. You are amazing with her, always there, giving her every opportunity that life has to offer her. It is so inspirational to see a family (you and Steven) come together and blossom and grow with love, understanding, and complete trust in one another! So thank you for sharing your words and thought, you help so many people with or without special needs. <br />Heather AlbertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453865880498528069.post-20211936345655572952011-06-17T21:25:28.534-04:002011-06-17T21:25:28.534-04:00Oh Maggie, Rachel is beautiful.I popped in from Ba...Oh Maggie, Rachel is beautiful.I popped in from Barflies to see how she is doing. Your words are so touching. Remember, the future gets here just one day at a time, and with each day you will adapt to the changes that time brings. Uncaring people will reject Rachel the same way they will reject anyone else who doesn't meet their standards. Who needs that kind of person anyway? Your family will continue to develop a loving community who will sustain you, and those will be the people who count.<br />Melinda (Shabby)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453865880498528069.post-30771024811013464952011-06-15T20:13:01.518-04:002011-06-15T20:13:01.518-04:00such a courageous post, a great post, over this pa...such a courageous post, a great post, over this past weekend was a tough one for me because I "looked up" and I felt overwhelmed, it was good to read about your friend who is a little further down the track, makes me feel like I am not weak for still struggling sometimes thanx again <br />Viv (Owens mum) www.born21ofmarch.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
