Journey Out

It shocks me how society treats special needs children at times. Before my son transitioned over to SDC. My son was in a regular child development class, he would participate in the class fieldtrips and graduation cermonies and etc. but once we held that first I.E.P meeting and they soon diagnosed him with PDD (Pervasive Development Disorder ) he was branded to them as one of those kids. He could not participate in any other activities anymore let alone graduate with his regular classroom. I can remember walking him to his new classroom and he saw his old teacher and classmates and started to yell. It was a moment that is a tear jerker. I watch both of my children not participate in any activities and not only them but the other kids too.

These children who are special deserve to explore their surroundings. They deserve an opportunity to see things and feel very much apart of the world as any other regular child would do. These children try ten times harder than the regular child to learn,read, and etc. They deserve to journey out with the proper supervision and respect and love.

Life Lessons

I sit and watch both of my sons as I get them ready for school to hop on that bus and head off to school. I always tell them that I love them and pray that God Watches them. My oldest grabed my hand and formed a sentence and said Mom dont worry, I'm fine. The way he said that was if he could read into my soul. I have learned the true meaning of patience. They have taught me the meaning of humbleness and what it means to love and trust. I can say that my children are my teachers, we as parents often feel being the parent makes us more the experience ones but they our children also have life lessons to teach us.
