From a mother that has a child with special needs- point of view.
As I am in finals week with my son, who has special needs, this is what I have to say to the world.
This life we live is the most rewarding and the most difficult.
It takes a strong parent to do this and all of life exceptions.
Parents that have been blessed by the Lord with these extra responsibilities are super stars rock stars, warriors of the world.
Don't be mad at us because we don't answer the phone to you.....we maybe on the phone with the doctor making yet another doctors appointment.
Don't be mad at us because we can not go to your event.......we maybe too stressed out for the day.
Don't be mad at us because we do not reply to yourfacebook post .....maybe we are trying to figure out how in the heck we are going to find time to work today.
Don't be mad at us because we can not make time for you...........we maybe just too exhausted and need time to worry or figure out how not to worry.
Don't be mad at us because we don't call you back......we maybe trying to understand what a diagnosis is that the doctor just told us our child has.
Don't be mad at us because we have not connected with you for weeks.......we maybe frantically looking on the internet and in medical journals to see what the prognosis for a diagnosis is.
Don't be mad because we are not the same person that we once were.....we are a parent of a child with special needs. We have been given an extra task from God. We, as all other parents are blessed but we have some more goals to accomplish and more tasks to be completed.
Please keep being my friend.
Keep inviting me to events.
Keep calling me.
Keep sending me cards.
Even if I do not respond.....I appreciate it and I still do think of you too!

Thank you God for my children.
