ABC’S
Saturday, June 4th, 2011I feel like I can’t write anymore. I’ll start posts and end up erasing everything. I write and then I read it and I’m just not being very honest. My writing has changed since my mother passed away. Parts of me have changed. I have struggled with the hard work that comes with Apraxia. This past year I have struggled period. But what bring me back to this page, “write post” is when I get an e-mail from a broken hearted mother who’s just received the news her child has Apraxia. A word she’s never heard of before, a speech disorder she never knew existed, her sudden realization that there’s going to be a road ahead. She’s found my blog and she wants to know how I did it and stayed so positive? I have not read back though my old blog posts much. I’m glad people say they are positive and encouraging. I know I was scared, very scared. There are still times I breakdown. But like always, Luke shows me the way. We face things together. I remind myself that the little boy I wasn’t sure would ever talk now comforts me with his words. When I look into his big blue eyes, I see hope, I see a future and it’s a bright one…
As we end the school year I just want to say a huge “Thank You!” to Luke’s teachers who have helped him not only in speech but in so many other ways. He has accomplished many wonderful things this year. You have given him the gift of encouragement and support that will stay with him always! You have made an impact on my sons life and I will forever be grateful!
