When Riley was first diagnosed I clung to any words of hope. Anyone who said it would get better, hang on. I think the blogs are really helpful that way. When one person is despairing there are others to lift them up.

It was so nice to meet you over the weekend. I hope your travels back home were peaceful.

PS~ Percy is TERRIFIED of even the dustbuster. he screams & runs away to hide, yelling “all done, mommy! all done!”

stop making me cry, doggone it!!!!!!

Thank you. you give me hope, b/c I am still in the midst of all those things you remember with such clarity. I could relate to almost ALL of it. But YOU got through it. more than that, you and your children are thriving!

I think you do have to take it in little bits at a time, though. Like you, I worked through it for seven years before I could admit that Little Miss will never never be like the other girls her age. I kept thinking that the therapies would make her “all right.” But this year I was finally able to say it–and at the same time see that she does have gifts and humor and a unique point of view, and that she will be okay. But if I’d had to face that fact at the beginning, it might have done me in. So thanks for being out there ahead of the curve and showing us what’s just ahead–we don’t have to see the end of the road yet, just the signposts along the way.

This is why I try to take the long view and say to myself it will be different a year from now 2 years from now and so on but some days ooooo I’m stuck in the moment.

Thanks for you a really great and empathetic and inspiring read.
