I have been so blessed to work with him and to see his communication blossoming everyday in our sessions. Garrett may not be the same as some other kids but I see him as more than normal- I see him as "gifted" in so many ways other kids are not. You are right that adults sweat the small trivial things in live and take what they have for granted. They also very often do not see how truely special the "special" kids are. These kids require to ensure they have they are safe, loved and have the best quality of life they deserve. People are aften unaware of how draining this can be for their parents. Just remember though that those of us who work with Garrett and with you do know and are here to support you. As more people are touched by "special" people of all ages or kinds, I hope is that they will gain sincitivity, grace, and an understanding of how truly special life is.

I do know what that feels like :/ Although we all know our kiddos are different and are struggling in their own way, watching parents with "typical" kiddos complain is tough for me a well. One day in our shoes, yep that would do it.<br /><br />So good to hear he is gaining new skills, and getting ones back, that is huge! hugs to your babies tomight for me--Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241152139861621622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544258568060594716.post-80983838146667521752012-05-27T18:35:32.623-06:002012-05-27T18:35:32.623-06:00I can envision Garret as I read about all the amaz...I can envision Garret as I read about all the amazing things he is doing....such a cutie, and really such a gift in so many ways.<br />And yes...I know your pain....all too well....as one who has had more to deal with than most....so, trust me....my tolerance for whiners over things that seem so trivial in comparison...my patience runs thin. Although I try not to compare my pain to others pain<br /><br />Hope you are enjoying your weekend my friend! xoxoDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469385508031005419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544258568060594716.post-57149406864792499782012-05-27T13:36:14.021-06:002012-05-27T13:36:14.021-06:00Great to see the good news about Garrett, its defi...Great to see the good news about Garrett, its definitely all about being thankful for every single accomplishment and milestone! <br />Praise God we have been taught such valuable lessons through our mito kids, don't take anthing for granted! And count it all joy when our HEALTHY children mess up, praise God they are CAPABLE of even doing anything that's messable! :-) Abigail would love to be able to simply walk, let alone get in trouble for being naughty. I smile just thinking about it.... how wonderful if Abigail could do something wrong! LOL <br />yes, I get SAD when others complain or whine about their lives... I have a terminally ill daughter.... if only I had a normal life! But its all relative and I know if it weren't for Abigail I would be whining and complaining about how HORRIBLE my life is. Sad that we have to watch our babies suffer before we learn these lessons of love, joy, and acceptance. <br />Sorry so long...Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385221072754319620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544258568060594716.post-46714385925236269602012-05-27T11:32:02.160-06:002012-05-27T11:32:02.160-06:00How blessed I am to have a friend like Garrett! I ...How blessed I am to have a friend like Garrett! I hope he hasn't already outgrown his willingness to take off with me for some summertime adventures that only he could plan for us. We swim rivers, climb, play the machines (not the money ones - the fun ones!), shop-til-we-drop, don't mind getting lost occasionally (don't tell Daddy-O!), and meet some really neat folks along the way. We even have a new Magic Carpet this year! Let's Get Started, JG!!!!!
