Today was my son's IEP meeting, and once again I came out feeling like I'm the only one who sees what a wonderful little boy he is. I'm a Special Ed teacher--I know all the "jargon". I also know he's my little boy. Please tell us about your life. I need to hear it. I need to hear that it's OK to see my Patrick for who he IS. Not who some psychologist who spent an hour with him says he is. I just found you today. I think it was God's gift to my Monday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129622223840993293.post-21177549394546388502012-05-21T17:08:38.483-04:002012-05-21T17:08:38.483-04:00Yes, just be yourself. It's you who writes the...Yes, just be yourself. It's you who writes the blog, shares the creative ideas; like you, I enjoy the blogs where I feel I can connect with the person writing. I've often wondered how you do it--being a special needs mom must be very challenging. Your sharing some of your worries, problems, etc. will give you a chance to unload a little bit, give others a chance to know you better, and give us an opportunity to encourage you when you need it. God bless and keep you.Roisinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351402751154671705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129622223840993293.post-62813177858942506262012-05-19T05:13:20.836-04:002012-05-19T05:13:20.836-04:00Oh my goodness Kim! I sobbed when I read this...I...Oh my goodness Kim! I sobbed when I read this...I am so there with you, you may as well have been writing this post for me! I tried to sum up the same feelings in my last post but not as well as you have!<br /><br />And yes I will still be here reading ALL your future posts and getting to know (and love) the real you! <br /><br />You are right the big 'perfect blogs' about DIY are fab, but the ones I visit every post are the ones that are written by people I feel I have got to 'know'. I know about their family, where abouts in the world they live, I know when they are down and I know when they are happy, and I treat them like friends. I e-mail them to ask how they are feeling, to wish them well, to congratulate or sometimes just to chat. I refer to them as friends even tho we never met...and that's because they blog about EVERYTHING, the good and the bad, not just the perfect DIY/Craft or whatever!<br /><br />Have a fab weekend! xxRona Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941354380593615109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129622223840993293.post-54131870825331974942012-05-19T04:18:05.581-04:002012-05-19T04:18:05.581-04:00Of course I will love you for just being you! That...Of course I will love you for just being you! That happens to be one of my favorite things about you! You have shared so much of yourself with me through e-mails that I feel like I have gotten to know the real Kim. <br /><br />I struggle sometimes with sharing the personal stuff on my blog, but back when ABF was first diagnosed with cancer my Mom asked me if I was writing about any of it, because writing has always been an outlet for me. I realized that I hadn't, but I'd just started my blog and came to the conclusion that I'm going to write whatever my little heart desires and if people don't like it, they don't have to read it. <br /><br />When you're going through the tough stuff in life, it's nice to have an outlet. Give me your worst, Kim, I'm not going anywhere :)Bethany @ A Fish Who Likes Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572482196934106822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129622223840993293.post-5550614725462729992012-05-19T01:34:24.689-04:002012-05-19T01:34:24.689-04:00no, i won't like you if you just be you.
