The beginning of 2012 has been interesting. Since January, my oldest has been in a therapeutic day school. It is somewhat successful, but home is still very difficult. I appreciate very much the people caring for him at the day school because for Ryan to be as successful as he is there, is quite remarkable. I am happy that he is finally beginning to see some bits of happiness for himself, I hope that it continues to grow.
I just received my seven year old son's neuropsych testing back. It is the same story, same progression as my oldest. I am always trying to keep in the forefront of my mind that, "There is a reason." I may not know what that reason is, but, hopefully, I can gather strength and forge ahead. Life is DIFFICULT.
I am proud of the many strides I have seen my daughter make with accepting her brothers' illnesses. I am thankful that they can begin to appreciate that she is truly an angel in their life.
When things get hard, I am always trying to remain faithful. I look at the steps I have made in understanding and practice, to help my children cope, grow and be comforted. I struggle, every day. But, every day, I come back for more. That is life; Fall down, get back up. I am grateful that God helps me get up every day.
Sometimes, the blessings are the simple things, and they are enough. They have to be.
