Well, summer is over and Miller has gone back for his second preschool-school year! He loves school and gets so excited to ride the bus to and from school, and I'm excited for some new Miller art projects!
I got the opportunity to go to our local state fair a few weeks ago and stopped by the Persons With Developmental Diabilities table. I had a chance to talk with another mom, whose son is quite a bit older than Miller, but has autism as a symptom of another genetic disorder. For the first time I felt a genuine connection with another parent. Unfortunately, she works in another county, but we had a great conversation and talked about raising our boys and the difficulty in finding adequate parent support groups. By the end of the conversation I felt a little less alone and she left me thinking about some wonderful words of wisdom. We all go through some type of grieving when we find out about a child's disability. It's something that you never recover from, and that's ok. It's ok to grieve, and the grieving never goes away, but it does get easier with time.
