Thank you

A note of many "thanks" to those who take the time to read this, and help in any way that you can.  I appreciate your comments so much.  Thank you for inquiring about Aiden, and listening to my fears and/or frustrations.  We all have our challenges in life.  The grass is never "greener," on the other side, it is just different.  I took Aiden to swim lessons the other day, and I quiety cried at the pool-side.  This was a class for "special needs" children.  I cried because Aiden's diagnosis is slowly becoming a realty.  Later, Abe asked me if I noticed the little girl with the trach tube--she was about 2 or so.  Sadly, the answer was no.  I didn't see her, because I was too busy feeling sorry for my son and I.  I realized then that we were very blessed, and my attitude and perspective needed to change.  It could be much harder.  My heart broke for the children who will struggle their whole lives, and the parents that love and support them through their journey.  I pray that we can lift each other up, accept and love one another for our differences, and truly support one another.  I know that many may not agree with what I write on here, but I've chosen to share it in hopes that it will uplift and inspire someone else.  It helps me so much. Sometimes, we go through life focusing on our own trials and shelfish needs (myself included), but we find ourselves when we are in the service of others.
