If I try to help you get better, does that mean I don't accept you fully...just the way you are?
If I take you to therapy, does that mean you are not good enough?
If I try to teach you to be "socially acceptable," does that mean it's not okay to be you?
If I try to protect you from the world, does that mean I think you are not capable?
I just want you to know...
I accept you
You are good enough
It is okay to be you
You are capable
I love you

Sharing our son with the world. He's too much for one family to contain.

I like this very much.
Really good! Love it!
Nicely put.
It means that you are an amazing mom. Beautifully put.
Oh! This was so touching.
Jodi,
These questions run through my mind every day...and at the end of each day, I know one thing for sure, I love my son!
Thanks for this post.
Heesun
You have been reading my mind but have put this far more eloquently then I ever could.
You write so beautifully. I'm really thankful to have found your blog through your contribution to the carnival. I'll be back again:)
I have to tell you, so many of your posts bring tears to my eyes. This one is no exception. *Sniff*
Hi ~ stopping by on my way through through the Disability Blog Carnival. Change a few words in this post and this could apply to all parents of all children I think. If only our children could understand and appreciate it...
This is a lovely post.
Well said, Jodi. The tensions here between doing enough and too much are perpetual for us parents. Thanks for describing them so eloquently.
