And then something comes along to remind me just how good life is if I only let myself see it. And if Tess has taught me anything, it is to appreciate the people I would have never given a second glance at before. To focus more on the "special" in special needs and not so much on the "needs".
Something like this:
And this:
And last but certainly not least, this:

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteThis blog is basically funny, sad, and true stories about my family's life with a special needs daughter/sibling. If you go back through the blog archives you will read more about my daughter Tess as well as her "typically developing" older sisters. I try to find the humor in some fairly serious instances so be warned. With your name "gastrosurgery", the post "Life is FLEETING" immediately comes to mind. :)
AWWWWWW! <3 <3 <3

Beautiful - of course, may favorite is Tess singing. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, it is easy to get discouraged. And some days are just perfect for a little ol' pity party and then I can move on.
But one of the things I have learned since having Lily is there are a whole lot of amazing and wonderful people I would never have noticed or met if she wasn't part of our family. My life is much richer for noticing these special people and knowing them.
Happy New Year! :)
