Your little boy is just adorable! I tried (unsuccessfully!) to leave a message on your carepage but couldn't figure it out so I'm leaving it here.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259709507156454270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562567569547870546.post-36032715510821418742010-06-15T10:22:35.260-04:002010-06-15T10:22:35.260-04:00I know exactly what you mean.

Emily is in there with kids that are much younger than she is and they can all do things that she cannot. Sometimes I am able to focus on the kids and enjoy the time with them and other times I leave there feeling so depressed. We all have those days. We just have to remind ourselves how blessed we really are.Wherever HE Leads We'll Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15042627234253638468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562567569547870546.post-26895188823095971302010-06-15T10:05:50.049-04:002010-06-15T10:05:50.049-04:00Well this one sure got me teary eyed.

I find myself feeling this way even when the kids aren't around and it's just a girlfriend I'm hanging with. She might tell me about something really cute her little one said (he is 2 years younger than E) and I'll smile outwardly while inwardly I feel like screaming. <br /><br />I find myself seeking out more and more opportunities to be around people who "get it", or more accurately, who "know it". For now at least, it's the only way for me to avoid feeling sadness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562567569547870546.post-25338128981331737382010-06-15T00:28:38.734-04:002010-06-15T00:28:38.734-04:00Hey Kristina

I have a 28mth old son with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and complex Hydrocephalus and can relate to a lot of the stuff you post on. I absolutely agree with you on this one. I cannot believe how having a child with special needs has changed my friendships. Those that I thought I was the closest too show no interest in my new life or how things are going. While other's that I'm not so close to are there thru everything. I cannot count the number of times I've left social events in tears because I don't feel the connection I once did. Anyway, just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and say that another mom that understands is totally cheering your sweet girl on.<br /><br />Laura<br />http://www.carepages.com/carepages/codygarrettAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
