Lately, more than ever I seem to be going through some pretty tough times. I find myself at night unable to sleep simply because my head keeps spinning around.. thinking.. wondering.. trying to understand.. Why is this happening? What could the diagnosis be? What will the future hold?
Sometimes I just need a gentle reminder that things are going to be ok, its not always going to be this hard and hopefully in years to come things will be much better.
One thing helping me through is a great website called 'Hopelights'.. Its made for parents like me, with special needs kids that need some hope and some light in our day. For those days where we need some encouragement, need some strength to go on.
A few posts that have helped me lately:
I am a parent of a child with special needs. I try really hard sometimes not to let things get to me, its my job to be strong - its my job to lead. Some days though can pull me right in two, and the strong one here is not me at all.. It is you. What I have to cope with, is just a fraction of what you overcome. I am your biggest fan my dear, especially when my world feels like its come undone.
My life isn't glamorous and it is full of hard work everyday. I go weeks before I realise I need a break. But in the end, the gifts of joy I receive with just an inch of progress - are quite extraordinary and in these moments I know we can do anything.
Today I have 10,000 reasons to sit down and cry. But I will focus on the one reason I have to stand back up and keep going - the love I have for my children
