Layla is 8 months new. Maya is 6, Sabrina 4. After the holidays it has hit me like a ton of bricks the bloody chaos that we live in. My friend, my lifesource. sent me a link for RTS Canada. She and all the friends and family in our lives are incredible. They are there in good and bad times. Back to the RTS website: The children and their families are beautiful and it does warm me to know that there are others going through this. What hurts is how much my baby daughter is looking like her diagnosis. It is such a push and pull of emotions. We are greatful for the diagnosis to give us a blueprint of things to come. How can I not be appreciative of technology and the knowledge / access to information that I have access to? BUT (such an irritating word), it is sad to have to go there. I am sorry and is not my intention to insult the families of children diagnosed with this. I will get used to being here. My children will propel me through this early - kind of uncomfortable - road.
There is a parent group that I belong to - let's call it the "group". Can I suggest that everyone find a group. Whether it be a book club, meet at the bar once a week, mommy's group, pow-wow in the school playground or whatever, you should join one. Life happens around you and you are a part of the life; you make a difference. So don't shy away from the "group" that caters to what you need at this point in your life.
So to end, I have to say welcome Rubinstien and Taybi. I'll show you around. Make yourself at home.
