Oh So exciting!!

This is my story with my son Noah. Do you have a child with additional needs? I would love to hear from you too!

I have been thinking back today. Just reminiscing the start of our story with Noah.
How I used to feel. I think about it now to be able to help others. To think about how things were to how things are now.

I remember going through the “but it’s not fair” “why can’t things just be normal” “Why can’t today just be different” “Is it too much to ask to just…”

Resentment that it’s always so hard starts to build. Guilt that maybe it’s your fault it’s like this (spoiler alert..it isn’t)

Noah was allergic to everything, everything we tried he ended up back in hospital. I so badly wanted to be able to feed him. Then came the tube and I was scared, upset and worried for the future. Little did I know this was just the start of the upgrades and differences we would be gifted.

Then we start to make up stories too…
I’m not going to talk to my mates about it, they don’t want to hear about my stuff…they won’t understand what I am going through…it will be easier to just detach…I don’t want people to know how weird/hard/strange things are.

I get it. Our expectations of what our babies would be were different. It wasn’t supposed to be this way was it.

But if we truly believe everyone else is having a normal time…doing normal things…we only succeed in isolating ourselves too. It’s another story we have made up. The problem is…often this fantasy of a normal life and things being easier is what keeps us going to….the thought…that maybe this time will be better. It’s a tough loop to be in.
Acceptance that things are different…and that our reality isn’t ordinary…is essential. And oh so freeing.

Our silence how how we feel about what “should have been” stops that grief we need to feel to let go. To grief our past expectations are the beginning off our healing. We can’t forgive if we can’t grieve. Loss of what “might have been” is confronting. Acceptance of "what is” is how the next chapter starts.

There is a deep peace in accepting what is. All of it.
There is a deep joy in celebrating the differences.

In reality things are different…but they are also the same as so many parents worries for their kids.
We just want what is best for them.
Noah doesn’t have special needs…just additional needs and I am grateful for his amazing upgrades and incredible insights into a world I would never have known without him.

I left behind what "should have been” a very long time ago and I so glad I did because otherwise I might have missed how awesome things are...just as they are.

This made me giggle today :-) Just a bit of fun...

"Once as I fell into an exhausted nap, her tiny hands reached up to my face.
“Mama is so tired, sweetie,” I whispered. “I’m so tired from all of the work and mommying that I have to do.”
She leaned her face in next to mine, kissed my cheek and she whispered a small “Thank you,” before pulling the blankets up over my shoulder.
I think she saw me. And for that one moment, love poured like a river."

I know it’s going to happen the moment I see this woman. It’s a narrow grocery aisle and there is only one way out. My daughter gasps when she sees her. An audible “WOW” flies out of her mouth in her typical one volume, five-year-old, everyone can hear her voice, and I lock my eyes on my daughter. C…

Oh my goodness!! Of course! Why didn't I think of that? :-)

Genius! I can't tell you how many of these bubble tubes my daughter has spilled all over the ground after insisting that she hold it. What a simple solution :)
