Such touching thoughts on parenting...Thanks, Tiff! Such touching thoughts on parenting a special needs child,any child. I once read an article that spoke to becoming a parent:<br /> 1. You never see or hear the world in the same way once your child is in your arms.<br /> 2. Life becomes centered around basic survival needs.<br /> 3. You react to common experiences in totally different ways; the sound of an ambulance siren sets your heart racing, and you start mentally searching for your child.<br /> 4. Life is no longer about you. The news is no longer a bore, but a warning of danger(s) to your child.<br /> 5. Life is expanded beyond the bounds of your physical self to be seen lived out in your child.<br /><br /> All from memory from an unknown author, some 30+ years ago. Certainly not quoted. <br /><br />You did a much more eloquent job of expressing many of those same emotions!Nettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871006081320165294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6613098443917855826.post-20046090909762793122010-12-22T05:33:58.318-08:002010-12-22T05:33:58.318-08:00Great post Tiffany!

It is also a powerful reflection on my end-of-parenting Eureka reality. . . <br />"Being a parent changes the parent far more than our efforts at "parenting" impacts our offspring! " <br /><br />Thank you, Tiffany, for having eyes to see, ears to hear the music of LIFE AND the truths God offers - your words embody important realities: "God whispers in our pleasures...but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world" You and Elise are among His sweet instruments!Sharon Tachenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189099473283965292noreply@blogger.com
