Connecting

Today I was thinking about my need to connect with my family, friends and the world. I started thinking about this after reading the heart-touching comments my cousin Kathy left the other day. It is attached to the Summer Pain posting. Give it a read, I am sure it will touch you too.

I think that parents of children with special needs acutely feel the need to connect with other parents in the same situation. Parenting a special needs child can be isolating, demanding and just plain stressful. It helps to know that you are not alone. That you are not the only parent out there living a life that you never planned for.

So thank you Kathy for touching my heart with your words. And thank you to everyone reading these words for taking the time to hear me.
