Question (Or Statement) 4

Question (Or Statement) 4: You know it could be worse right?

Answer: Umm... yeah! Every single day I look at my family and my heart swells at the knowledge of how lucky I am. I have not had the misfortune of needing to survive the loss of any of my children or my husband. Each and every day I think of the people in our lives that have lived through those sorts of tragedies and I send love out to them. I celebrate my family every single day by loving them and cuddling them... with laughter and playtime. I remember those who have dealt with loss and give my children extra kisses on their behalf. I never take for granted what I have been given.

I am sorry that some of you view my blog as me complaining or being unhappy. That has not been my intention. For me, my blog is about releasing all of my thoughts, fears, hopes and dreams. I almost feel like I am talking to someone as I write these entries, maybe even sending my wishes out in hopes of them coming true. I also write to help people better understand what it is like to be a Special Needs parent. A lot of people shy away from us, because they are afraid of the unknown. I want people to be able to relate with us, and know that we are not something to be intimidated by. We are the same as any family. We love and we struggle. We play and we fight. All we want is to be loved, have friends and play all day long.

I am so lucky, and I have never felt like I have it any worse than any one else. In fact, I think I have it pretty darned good :)
