"Liberality-Okay, if you are not a follower of my blog, you will get the condensed version. We are broke. Literally gave up everything so that my daughter would have even the slimmest chance at a good quality of life. I really could care less what we have or if it gets broken. I am not the least bit attached to anything but my DH and kids. Most people say they aren't materialistic but you should see the way they chase my daughter around so she won't break anything."
I got a well intentioned (anonymous) comment by someone who obviously does not live with Autism, or me, about why some people chase my daughter around. I deleted it. They don't get it, at all. This person does. This article touched me so deeply. I can't begin to tell you. She talks about things being "broken" and how God sees them whole, perfect. The Great Healer. I pray that today, that we find a cure for Autism. I pray that someday my daughter can look at me and talk. That she can can get married, have children, become a nun...or whatever she wants. More than anything I pray that if God chooses not to heal her that he give me the wisdom to care for her and teach her. I also pray that God surrounds her with loving people that are kind...and tolerant (Matthew 25:31-46).

I have to say that the internet has helped and hindered me as a mom. Overall, I'd say "helped" though because it was only through searching that I found I am not the only one struggling with what some might think are "weird" issues. (Poo parties, for one thing!) lol
It's hindered me in that I might spend a little too much time on the web...trying to get away from the issues in the real world. So I've been working on that, because I figure I'll always have the internet, but I only have so long with all my kids here at home!!!
I am thankful for friends like you.
Have a good day!
