I need control over my environment too so that I keep it together.
Fortunely I'm able to step back a bit and watch this remarkable child just do her thing. Be who she is. She's unaware of her limitations and delays. She is who she is. Born this way and is perfect.
The label is just a way to get funding and help.
I know that I will need to parent differently and there will be challenges. But I intend to show and teach her that she is wonderful and capable of doing anything. That her ways of being different are an asset to her and a miracle to the world.
I'm reading books and getting information that I need in order to cope but this journey will be okay. With my husband and older daughter by my side we can achieve anything.
And tears only wash away the days dust.
