This hit me At the core. It’s exactly how Ive felt and have been feeling. Thank you for helping me feel.. not alone. when you talk About imagining god Holding your child and choosing you to be Her mother, is the best thing I couldve read. Its been hard to feel grateful lately and this has definitely given me a new mindSEt about it all.

In reply to Ashley.

Hi Ashley, thank you so much for taking the time to read my writings and comment. It really means a lot to me! I had no idea you were a program specialist for a school district– I’m very familiar with the IEP process and know our district’s program specialist pretty well too. Thanks to dedicated administrators like yourself, kids like Elle can get the help and support they need. It’s been one heck of a journey (for lack of better words) but at the core of it all, I’m so thankful that I get to parent and learn with a child like my own. Its great to find a mama friend who is a program specialist! Will be sure to ask you for advice when I need it- I’m sure they will come up! Much love to you Ashley xoxo

Hi Angela, I’m so glad I spent some time perusing your wonderful blog today. For work, I am a Special Education Administrator (Program Specialist) and work with student and their families on a daily basis, mostly at IEP meetings. I can’t tell you how much I needed a personal reminder/perspective of a friend who has a child with special needs, and recognizes the profound blessing of being chosen as their parent. I too feel blessed to be called into the field I work in, and needed a heart reminder as the days have become so busy and hectic – I will keep your words in my mind and heart as I enter my meetings this coming week and key in more closely to the heart’s of the parents I meet with. Thank you! And, hopefully you’re in a great school district, but if anything ever comes up with her IEP that you question or wonder about – although I’m sure you’re already an expert- please don’t hesitate to use me as a resource! Xo, Ashley

In reply to Sane Mama. When life gives you something difficult, we end up adjusting and becoming stronger. I'm sure you would be able to too. Sensory processing disorder can be difficult too, our journeys are different but all full of challenges isn't it? I guess that's motherhood.
