Our (special needs) families sometime endure extra heartbreak, when we don’t expect more. It’s that “out-of-the-blue” part, the suddenness, that hurts most. Have you had a time when in spite of your best efforts, things fall harder, cut deeper into your soul?
Ponder when it is time to declare victory and depart the field. Yet at the same time, let us continue always to “Look for the Helpers” (Fred Rogers) and hold our peace.
Only God can make some things right. I am not allowed to judge … there’s a verse for that. And if I didn’t have faith, I do not know how I would cope. Over the years, I have ranted at God a few times since our diagnoses. Recently, it’s more a banter. I am guessing that’s a good thing.
I have shared freely and openly about our many interventions,
our highs, our lows. My intention is to share so our kids can earn a better adult life. So,
May you and your loved ones live well.
May your pain heal,
May your tears dry.
May your spirit rise and laugh again.
May you do your best and when that isn’t enough,
May you walk away with your head up and your heart forward.
May your scars help others.
May you save your energy for those who matter.
