This past year has had far too many challenges for your family. What a blessing that Ben had a learning experience without lasting consequences. Thank you for all you share about Sam's journey too. Seeing the joy on his face is so wonderful. Being a Mom is the best, hardest and most rewarding job in the world.Audreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434662234064169811.post-48465771640556262452011-09-20T18:25:27.858-06:002011-09-20T18:25:27.858-06:00I absolutely love that first pic of Sam viewing th...I absolutely love that first pic of Sam viewing the ocean - pure joy! You have to admire his determination and perseverance in succeeding to run along the water's edge - even though it cost him all that pain. And I'm so sorry he had to suffer on the beach like that, doing something he loved - and that people just stared instead of offering assistance :(Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434662234064169811.post-15039955942437186082011-09-20T17:46:27.620-06:002011-09-20T17:46:27.620-06:00You are such an awesome mom!

You can be angry at all the diagnoses that interfere with the life you want him to lead. <br />Just remember that he is yours just the way he is and to do your best to provide for him the experiences that he likes so much. <br />Let him try to do whatever he wants, knowing that you will have to support him.<br /> Treasure that smile. Hug him & kiss him and thank God for the wonderful gift that he is. <br />sermon over...sorrymary jo petersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434662234064169811.post-31259653538714773142011-09-20T11:49:31.294-06:002011-09-20T11:49:31.294-06:00What a wonderful post.

I see how it could be an inspiration!!! <br />I can't imagine how difficult some of these decisions must be - our struggles don't even approach the things you/yours have gone through. But I think it's wonderful that you don't allow your fears/concerns to limit Sam; that you let his desires and determination draw him out. I know there's a balance there but you seem to handle it beautifully.<br />Thanks for sharing, it continues to inspire and encourage me. ~djdjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07314933496325977589noreply@blogger.com
