It breaks my heart that everyday you encounter some negativity , but I have watched you shake it off and move on. Seriously not an easy thing to do. I am so proud of you. Having children does change your perspective. Life becomes less about you and more about the kids. You've done a great job of embracing that. And that those little girls are proof of that. But, the responsibilities of 2 children can make life overwhelming for a non- disabled( personally I think we all have some kind of disability) person. But, you and some of the people you have become friends with amaze me!<br />So, as I said at first, this blog will help others know that they are not alone in their daily struggles. That others feel the same frustrations and ,yes, embarrassment. Hopefully, you all will come to understand that the people who embarrass you are not important. Mostly, they don't understand, but some are just plain rude. It's your own community, the ones that know, forget, remember again, the ones that care about you. The ones who love you and want you to accept their help without embarrassment or frustration, they are the ones who count and will always be with you.<br />Your children will be stronger and more empathetic....they already are. They will always be able to accept people who are "different". <br />You are strong. Stay strong. Understand that you are amazing! And you are so loved, Ma.Mary Jane's Playcarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822797178312545832noreply@blogger.com
