The only thing going through my mind right now is the lyrics to the song, which I'm sure you know...<br />"for when I am tried, and purified...I shall come forth as gold."

I've walked PT, OT, ST and now horse therapy. I've lived the hurt in my child's eyes as he has realized his deficits compared to other's. I've cried myself to sleep numerous times knowing that life will never be simple for my guy.<br />Tonight I am lifting you up and asking God for peace and His Wisdom for you. I so wish I were close enough to just spend time with K while you have regular play dates with the other's. I wish I could say the pain goes away and life becomes simple, but I can't. <br />My guy turns 25 next week and the pain lives on through him and in us. <br />The one thing I can say is that God know's your mama's heart and He see's your love. Someday, someday, some sweet day our boys will be whole and perfect in the presence of Jesus - I just can't wait for someday.<br />But in the meantime...I pray, sweet Jesus...minister your Peace to my sister!!!<br />Love you girl, CindyJoy Junktionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396533426075869292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564587143098254879.post-55695976078770788002010-06-17T20:40:16.963-04:002010-06-17T20:40:16.963-04:00Wendi~I can only think that God using this in your...Wendi~I can only think that God using this in your life to show His glory for how He is going to work through you in giving you strength, creativity, perseverance, patience, and true joy from clinging to your Savior.

God CHOSE you to be K's mom. Out of all the women He could have picked, He knew YOU would be the best and would be EXACTLY what K needed. K thrives as much as he does because of the love and work and time YOU have invested in him. It's not easy by any means, but Wendi you are the perfect woman for the job because YOU are who God gave K to. Please don't feel down or second guess yourself. You are in a difficult situation and you have done an AMAZING job with the circumstances of K's stroke (just using the term you used in the post). He is a beautiful, beautiful boy, and when I see your pics of him I see the joy radiating off his face. You have done/are doing/will do an incredible job with K. Praying for your heart, your strength, and your peace.

My cousin who has learning difficulties couldn't play with his brothers and their friends, and everyone worried he was becoming isolated, but he became really interested in watching them play cricket. And, although he can't join in, over the years he's become their umpire and adjudicator. So he's managed to carve his own niche in their games. I'm sure K will find his own space in a way that you least expect.<br />Know that you're all in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult season!BaronessBlackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429480086121643083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564587143098254879.post-91201111513793082792010-06-16T18:11:18.449-04:002010-06-16T18:11:18.449-04:00Praying for you!

Hard days, days where you question and worry and wonder are all part of the course (whether we are a parent of a special needs child or not). As long as we cling to God and trust Him, our questions and fears and desires are never too big for Him.<br />Praying that you will find abunadant joy this summer as you rest in knowing that He is good.Katarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468533776228467206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564587143098254879.post-20800031671372833322010-06-16T17:53:09.148-04:002010-06-16T17:53:09.148-04:00Wendi - I'm tearing up over here reading this....Wendi - I'm tearing up over here reading this. I empathize with you. While Anthony doesn't have CP he really can't talk, at all. And I'm seeing his cousins and friends around him talking in sentences and leaving him. He's being alienated because of his verbal appraxia and it hurts my heart so much. He's such a social little guy. Wants to play and be just like the other kids. He's got low tone, so he moves different, he still can't jump, but while the physical doesn't bother me so much, its the lack of speech that tears at my heart. I fear the unknown. There are people with verbal apraxia that never talk. Will Anthony be like that? I don't know. I hate the not knowing. I hate feeling like there is something more i should be doing for him. Some magic treatment that I'm not finding for him. Even though I research every day! <br /><br />Again, I know you have a lot more challenges then I have and I think you are the perfect mother for K! Its okay to have days where it all overwhelms you. There are days I get so down. <br /><br />If you ever want to just vent or chat feel free to IM me. <br /><br />KimKimberly (Anthony's Mom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00517783303087349285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564587143098254879.post-72391722457904414272010-06-16T17:33:13.058-04:002010-06-16T17:33:13.058-04:00Not sure what to say exactly.
