"Children are the anchors of a mother's life."
Thank you to this very special mom for sharing her Mother's Day story!
As I reflect back on all that has
happened, I take a deep breath. I can't help but smile and be grateful for all
those who have helped our family.
I entered the world of Autism in 2006.
Since then, both of my children have been diagnosed with Autism. My children
truly represent the Autism Spectrum. They are both so different, so unique,
with their own set of strengths. They amaze me with their hard work, even when
things are tough. I see huge potential in each of them and know that everything
I do every day will help them succeed in their own way in the future. I would
do anything for my kids. I am doing everything I can for them. My life is about
theirs. I live for them, for their success and their future.
In life, we never know where paths
will take us. Sometimes we end up in a place we never knew existed. I didn’t
know about Autism before I was thrown into this world. I’m a better mom/person
because I’m here, thanks to my kids. I am proud to be their Mom and forever
grateful for them, Autism and all.
From one mother to another, wishing
you a wonderful Mother's Day and may God bless you and your children!
This Mother's Day I feel very grateful for all of the wonderful moms I
have the honor of working with through IN STEPPS. Every day I get to
witness the strength, bravery and commitment that our amazing moms possess.
Many of our mother's have had to learn through experience how to advocate and
fight to get services for their children. They often juggle caring for their
child (or children) with autism while also caring for their other children,
working full or part time jobs, and being active participants in their
child's treatment through participation in session and parent consultation. I
am inspired by our amazing mothers and feel truly blessed to be part of their
team. Happy Mother's Day to all of our moms!!!
