I feel like that a lot with my 10 year old because I still don't understand how to help him fit in but I know he thinks and acts differently from the mainstream child. It makes me feel bad that other kids don't try to include him more but then they are just kids. They don't have my perspective. All I can do is pray for friends that are accepting. Thanks for writing. You're a good mom.

You're going to have to settle for seconds.<br />Also, I don't know how I missed this post, but the fact that mine is the only comment on it makes me feel like a true blue stalker. Oh well. I guess I will own it. <br />That song up there. It's a good one. It was <br />Ryan's anthem when he first moved to Arizona and hated it with his whole heart. He finally came to the conclusion that home was where his family is. I know you already know this,but your post is making me reminisce.<br />What you're doing takes a whole lot of courage, and it's both beautiful and heartbreaking to watch. Thank you for teaching me what courage really means (well, you and Brenè ;). It hurts like hell, doesn't it? To open ourselves up for so much pain, banking on the promise that growth will follow. The pain blows, but i am sure you wouldn't trade the growth for the world. And as far as it taking time? Time is the kindest thing there is. brookewalters82https://www.blogger.com/profile/17378388460513470087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-46501901728262361562015-04-13T15:47:48.524-07:002015-04-13T15:47:48.524-07:00I'm so glad you are on the other side of such ...I'm so glad you are on the other side of such a rough time and able to look back, process and move forward. One thing that you teach me over and over is that there is always a way to make our struggles into opportunities for growth, learning and gratitude. You are so beautiful in that way, and in many many others.

And your sweet heart allows to to embrace the thoughts and feelings you are blessed with. You also have been given the gift of speech and writing! The many words you write are a blessing to me as it helps me look back at crazier times in my life and realize the many memories and blessings I'm so thankful for! Love you so much and love that you share so much about yourself. I was impressed by you when you were a teenager and loved you then... But who would have known that the paths you've taken and the trials you've gone through has let me see a side of you that reminds me of Gods love and His personal relationship He has with each of His children.

Did you know I am exactly as pregnant as you are? Well maybe off by a week or so (I'm due Dec. 1st), but similar enough that I can relate in more ways than one. I don't have iron deficiencies, but your other pregnancy descriptions are almost EXACT. Hang in there. We are almost done!

Then I realized that November will be no time for you to have visitors and December will be no time for visiting. Then I remembered how I got a flight to AZ for Christmas one year and now I think I know what I want in my stocking. I loved reading this and I miss you. Sometimes on FB, all we get is these faint snippets of life. Blogging is nice because it kind of connects the dots. I'm so glad that you're feeling more human again!
