Sometimes the path we are on is not the one we had intended. Thus began my life with Audra.

How could one little person bring so much joy and pain? How could one little person teach me so many lessons that most people never learn in a lifetime? And how could I be given a greater gift then to see people with disabilities for their inner selves and not as what the world see's them.

This is my journey, no one else's, this is what I have felt and laughed and cried over.
I wish you well on your own journey, wherever that may lead.
What not to say to your "normal" friends about thier kids!
Posted by: Carolyn Locke on June 23, 2010 at 1:28PM PST

Let's face it there are some things that don't go over well with your "normal" friends no matter how you say it. I have learned this by trial and error over the years and now know it is best not to say anything at all, even when you know you are right. The "normals" will rip you to shred's for insinuating anything is wrong with thier kids and if there is something wrong they will find out sooner or later anyhow so why risk your friendship. These are the things I don't say!

1. You know I think Bobby is behind.

2 If you call this number you can have him evaluated.

3. Do you know about Early Intervention?

4. Maybe you should take him to a specialist, I can give you the name of a good one!

5. Have you checked the milestones chart lately?

Please let me know if you have more to add to my list. It would be fun to see how long we can get it.
