i wish...

Life wasn't always so hard.

Or threw hardballs at us when we least expect it.

Or challenge us and take us out of our comfort zone.


I wish I could escape to this place.



But I can't.


I wish I could down one of these!



But I don't drink.


I wish I could take all the fear and worry away about my kids, especially Damian.

But I can't and I WON'T.

It's that fear and worrying that drives the fight in me. Makes me be that loud voice for him. I use that energy to keep going.

We had a huge long awaited meeting with alot of peeps there for making the transition to middle school a successful one for him. I had some head honchos there it was that big.

We came prepared and organized with the help of our ABA therapist Lillian.

Having so many people there to help advocate for Damian meant the world to us.

Some drama unfolded and I had to call someone out on it.

I had to do it. I am Damian's voice. He can't self advocate so that is where we step in.

I'm proud of myself and Troy for being such involved parents who fight till the end to ensure our child is getting the appropriate education and services in place to help him succeed.

I received numerous emails from the team about how well they thought we did in this meeting and how proud they were to have us as clients and families they work with.

This is God's plan for me and I'm up for the challenge.

I don't always wanna be so strong, I sometimes wish things would just fall into place but I have to work hard for Damian and my other children and I won't stop. EVER.


Great.

Now I wish I could indulge in this.



No I don't.

I'd be near death if I ate that.

I'll just settle for a little retail therapy with my BFF tonight and maybe a sneaky bite of a muffin :)
