My Motto

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.  I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.  ~Mother Teresa


This is most definately my all time favorite motto.  Having a child with special needs one never knows how or what each day is going to bring you.  There are some days that I do the whole "why me" pitty party but then I go back to my motto.  When she was first diagnosed with being developmentaly delayed I remember asking the nurse why me? Of course I was reminded that it was nothing I did.  I have since come to the realization that it takes someone special who has strength and great a support system to raise a child with special needs. I have had people including my daughters psychiatrist tell me that they don't know how I do it.  My response is always the same: when it is your child you just do it.  I will be honest there are some days that I want to give up but then she comes up to me with hug and a kiss and says I love you mom you're my bestfriend.  It puts a smile on my face and my heart and I tell my self God only gives you what he knows you can handle and somedays he just tests my patience.
