Everyone is entitled to have ‘one of those days’. I’m having mine… Reality is often the cruelest…some will see these pics and say, “how cute is that? Daddy holding her lovingly.” And he is. The reality is, Lauren can’t play with her friends unless there is an adult present to help her participate in the play as much as possible. Today, I find this to be so unfair and my heart is saying, “this is not ok!” Lauren thinks she can do whatever the others are doing. How do you respond to this? I want her to think that way, yet, reality cuts in. I keep praying for wisdom to someday make her thoughts become her reality. It’s just not so today…Mommy
I didn’t know Lisa was taking these pictures but while I was holding Lauren, I was doing therapy at the same time and thinking in my mind; there’s something not fair about this picture. God help us and strengthen us for the days ahead. It doesn’t get any easier.
