awwwww crick.........leave it to you....ok, it was a dim picture, but im open....lol
ok....my kids
are you ready when you special needs child comes running up to you when you pick them up after school because they are so happy to see you.
are you ready for your special needs child to ask you to sit next to them when they are watching their favorite cartoon
are you ready for them to finally ask you to stay with them until they fall asleep at night because they are scared
are you ready for them to say "look, a hurrican in florida, can we call grandma and grandpa to make sure they are alright" then i call and they want to talk to them...
are you ready when you walk in the house after work and he yells..."YEAAAAA!!!! DADDIES HOME....." and then starts to jump and down and then run towards you to give you a hug.
are you ready when you enter into a place with alot of people, and your outgoing child suddenly grabs your hand and kinda hides behind you a little because they finally realize that yoo will protect them.
are you ready when your child finally takes his arms and puts them around your neck when your hugging him instead of just keeping them by his side.
i can go on and on...ill think of some more....but these are major milestones for my kids. these are things that i dont take for granted, these are the things that make me think its going to be alright.
thanks all for changing flavor of this thread...crick.....and those who responded.
i have been so drenched in my sadness with my kids, that sometimes to step back and actually think of how far we have come......
im going to post again later when i get my thoughts together more...
