GOD CHOSE US TO RAISE THESE SPECIAL CHILDREN
I am the little engine that did. When on my journey in life, my
tracks led me to a mountain - a diagnosis of Autism- I looked at it
with defeat - thinking there was no way I could climb over it. I then
pondered the obstacle before me, and I then said to myself over and
over, "I think I can, I think I can...," then I slowly started
climbing the mountain saying to myself over and over, "I know I can,
I know I can,...." and then I made it over that ominous diagnosis and
continued my journey. I am the little engine that did.
I am more devoted than Noah's wife. I sometimes feel overwhelmed in
my "houseboat" -- 365 days and 365 nights a year, constantly working
with and teaching my child. But when the storms of isolation and
monotony become most unbearable, I do not jump ship. Instead I wait
for the rainbow that is promised to come.
I am Xena. Real life warrior goddess of Autism. With my steel plated
armor I can battle anyone who gets in the way of progress for my
child. I can overcome the stares and ignorance of those without a
disability in their lives - and educate them as to why my child is
the way he is, and why he does the things he does. With my sword of
persistence, I can battle the schools to have them properly educate
my child. Yes, I am Xena - and I am prepared for any battle that
might come my way......
I am beautiful. I have hairy legs because I get no time alone in the
bathroom, and bags under my eyes from staying up all night with my
child. The only exercise I get is the sprint from my house to my car -
to take my child to therapy. Dressed up to me is, well - just that I
had a moment to get dressed! They say that beauty is in the eye of
the beholder - and so even on the days when I don't feel very
beautiful - I will know that I am........ because God is my beholder.
I am the Bionic Woman. With my bionic vision - I can see through the
disability my child has, and see the beauty in his soul, the
intelligence in his eyes --- when others can't. I have bionic
hearing - I can look at my child when he smiles at me, and hear his
voice say, "I Love You Mommy," --- even though he can't talk. Yes, I
am thankful to be Bionic.
I am Mary. A not so well known mother of a Special Needs child who
was brought here to touch the souls of those around him, in a way
that will forever change them. And it started with me. By teaching me
things I would never have known, by bringing me friendships I never
would have had, and by opening my eyes as to what really matters in
life. Things like the Joy of just living in the moment, the Peace of
knowing that God is in control, never losing Hope, and knowing an
unconditional Love that words cannot express. Yes, I too am blessed
by a special child, just like Mary.
I am Superwoman. I am able to leap over tall loads of laundry in a
single bound, and run faster than a speeding bullet, to rescue my
child from danger. Oh yes, without a doubt, I am Superwoman.
I am Moses. I was chosen to be the mother of a Special Needs Child.
I may at times question whether I am the right "man" for the job ---but God will give me the Faith I need to lead my child to be the best he
can be. And like Moses, God will give me the small Miracles here and
there, needed to accomplish my mission.
I am Stretch Armstrong - a mom that can be stretched beyond belief
and still somehow return to normal. I can stretch limited funds to
cover every treatment and therapy that insurance won't. I can stretch
my patience as I bounce from doctor to doctor in a quest to treat my
child. Yes, my name is Stretch. And I have the stretch-marks to
prove it!
I am Rosa Parks. I refuse to move or waiver in what I believe is
right for my child --simply because my view is the minority, not the
majority. I refuse to believe "What can one mother do?" But instead,
I will write, call, and rally to the government if I have to, and do
whatever it takes to prevent discrimination against my child and
ensure that he gets the services that he needs.
I am Hercules. The Greek god known for strength and courage. The
heavy loads I must carry would make others crumble to the ground. The weight of Sorrow, Fear at uncertainty of the future, Injustice at
having no answers, and the Tears of despair, would alone possibly be too much, --- even for Hercules. But then the Joy, Laughter, Smiles, and Pride, - at my child's accomplishments, - balance the load to make it easy to bear.
I am touched by an Angel. An Angel who lives in a world of his own.
And it's true. He lives in a world of innocence and purity. A world
without hatred or deceit. A world where everyone is beautiful and
where no-one is ugly. A world where there is always enough time. A
world where he goes to bed with no worries of tomorrow and wakes up with no regrets of the past. Yes, I most certainly am touched by an Angel, and in some ways, his world is better....
I am a true "Survivor" - the mom of a child, who has faced, is
facing, and will face, --some of the most difficult challenges life
has to offer. I am ready for the challenge and have God given
endurance to last until the end, -- along with a sense of humor to
cope with all the twists, turns, and surprises along the way. Oh yes,
I am a TRUE "Survivor" - and I don't need to win a million dollars to
prove it!!!
I am a mom of a special needs child, all the above, and so much more. Somedays I will want to be none of the above - and just be a typical mom with a typical child, doing typical things. On those days I will know it's okay to be angry, and to cry, and to lean on my family,
friends, and church, for support. Because after all, ---the most
important thing I am, ..... is human.
