He's fortunate to have you and Ed in his corner. And I totally feel you when you said this has made you grow a lot but that you would give up the growth in a heartbeat if you could! You perfectly summed up how I feel about most life obstacles.

I can see the exact same kinds of days with my kids. I'm sure that it's much more intense with a special need child. I hope you are in an overall good place right now personally. Raising kids is hard no matter what, but you've really eloquently captured the extra demands of having a child with autism.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321727820730879535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448236159202037368.post-28072732600012280742010-02-24T07:17:52.051-08:002010-02-24T07:17:52.051-08:00Jen...your ability to write your feelings is alway...Jen...your ability to write your feelings is always so deep and rich and tangible for me. I love the perspective of Noe is Noe, which he sure is - perfectly. How amazing to get those glimpses into his eternal soul...those times that autism isn't the barrier and he shines through. Those moments must be pure joy as a mom!THE NORRIS FAMILYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387559981168339807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448236159202037368.post-17427697344836213572010-02-24T06:14:35.707-08:002010-02-24T06:14:35.707-08:00What a great post.
