| From time to time, I may add stories, words of encouragement, (we need all we can get! :) and various ideas here. Some stories may be fun, some helpful, and for some you may need to "break out the Kleenex." :) You're also welcome to send in your stories. Your experience could help someone else by giving them an idea, or a smile.

| Why Me? In caring for your disabled or special needs child, have you ever asked: "Why me? Why my child?" This is a natural, normal question that even the most patient and nurturing of parents and caregivers may ask themselves. But, have you ever stopped to think- maybe a better question might be- "Why not me?" Have you considered the possibility that maybe you have been chosen for a specific purpose? That somehow, maybe, you are uniquely qualified to care for your child? What a wonderful gift we've been given- (yes, I said gift! :) -because of our challenges, we will learn patience (Heaven help us! :), we will have compassion that we wouldn't have had otherwise, and we will be the better for having these special children in our lives. Our children may have their struggles, but when they reach a milestone, or achieve something that before seemed out of reach, we celebrate and appreciate their progress that much more. So, the next time your child has a meltdown in Wal-Mart (with every eye upon you), or you feel like pulling your hair out as you pray for nap time so you can have "just 5 minutes of peace, please!" Know this: you are not alone in this! And, not to pat ourselves on the back too much, (though sometimes we could all use a little pat! :) but maybe, there is something special about us- that makes us just the right person to care for that special child in our life. A poem written by Erma Bombeck offers an interesting perspective and encouragement, too. Click Here to read "Some Mothers Chosen By God" |

| Famous Mom Quotes "I'm a mother with two small children, so I don't take as much crap as I used to." — Pamela Anderson "When your mother asks, 'Do you want a piece of advice?' it is a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway." — Erma Bombeck "There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it." — Chinese Proverbs "You know Moe, my mom once said something that really stuck with me. She said, 'Homer, you're a big disappointment,' and God bless her soul, she was really onto something." — Homer Simpson (on The Simpsons) "My mother's menu consisted of two choices: Take it or leave it." — Buddy Hackett |
