the hardest part

January 20, 2015 by · 3 Comments

The hardest parts within the complexities of special needs parenting are the every day ones.  The moments where I simply don’t know WHY he’s having a meltdown. Language complications worse than foreign or cultural barriers because he’s MINE and my family and I want to help him better. His words don’t make sense, each individual one does, just not all strung haphazardly together like.

 

We both sit frustrated and crying.

So, I just hold him and rock him. He still fits, barely, in my lap and this much I can do. FullSizeRender

    In our sermon today we were introduced to a couple with a Williams Syndrome child. What impressed me most and what brought both a smile and tears to my face was how they talked about it as the “Joy” syndrome– just how much joy their daughter was bringing to their family on a daily basis. I rather like that term. You have an extra special joy in your life as well.

    thanks so much Debbie! Yes, it is such a joy. I think that even in the struggles of having a special needs child that I’m so lucky to have one that is so happy and joyful. :) My life is so much richer from having him.
