1. Smiles from Giggles are always real and genuine.
2. The lump that I have at the back of my throat reminds me I have a God who always has a plan.
3. My sister will always remind me how blessed I am.
4. I have discovered I am fiercer and stronger than I have ever imagined. I will fight daily for the rights of my child to be loved, to make choices, to have an education... and whatever else he needs. I am reminded it is not a race, but a marathon.
5. I will get to experience a love that is deeper than anything I`ve ever dreamed of.
6. No milestone is ever taken for granted. A hello, a hug , a question is the result of many hours of therapy and hard work. ( ADORE my husband for this commitment he has put in)
7. I get to meet some incredibly amazing people. (Some Speech therapists, occupational therapists,Psychologists are REALLY amazing. Seeing their faces well up with joy when they see your son reach a milestone is priceless.)
8. I get to live in the moment. The world slows down as I hold his hand walking back to the car. He notices every bug, every stone, every blade of grass. It has forced me to step back and yes, realise, this world is a beautiful place.
9. He opens new doors for us each and every day . My expectations, beliefs and dreams are being redefined. I am actually learning not to care about ` others` feelings about us and as a result, I am feeling more at peace each day.
