Recently, Pediatric Home Service invited me to guest post on their blog, and I happily took them up on their offer. 🙂 The post was published yesterday; it begins:
Ten years ago, my daughter was born with cerebral palsy. The early years of her life were an emotional struggle, but around the time she turned four things got better.
Three years ago, I became a special needs mom for the second time when my son was born with Down syndrome. Since then, I’ve realized that those early years with my daughter prepped me in a way I could never have imagined.
In talking with other special needs moms, I’ve found that the lessons I learned are universal, and today I want to share them with you, the parent newly on the special needs pathway, in the hope it’ll make your road a little bit smoother.
Dearest Andy,
your post is wonderful!
I wrote you some months ago, I lost a child, Carolina with T21 tree years ago, its was august 28.2010; she is always on my mind, so i still feel a mother of a special needs child..
I’m sure that your blog is a real help for all, even for people without children with special needs!
The photo of Sarah Kate leading bike Nathan is fabulous!!
Love
Margherita
p.s. I hope to meet you in Rome sooner or later
I definitely remember you, Margherita! May God bless you on this most difficult of days. (((HUG)))
One of these days I’ll make it to Rome. 😉
