You're writing goes beyond anything about your immediate situation - I always find so much in it x<br />And hugs to you, sending them across the pond, for that feeling of not being able to comfort a child and wanting to so much - k is right there too, we all do/will have times like that, I definitely have, but your experience and your writing of it stand out as an incredibly stark illustration of that feeling.ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150848734530098204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-88132304473361342882011-05-04T14:10:17.039-04:002011-05-04T14:10:17.039-04:00*Blush*

I think all parents can relate to this, be it through autisim or for any number of other reasons, we all will have a time when our children are hurting and we can't do anything to help. It is an overwhelming emotion to feel so helpless when you just can't make it 'all better' for them.<br /><br />Keep writing Amy! Your words have so much power. The entries about how autism effects a family are definitely eye-opening to many, but there is more to this story. It is one of how not to give up when the cards seem stacked against you...how important friends are...how to cherish what you have and not wallow in regret of what will never be...how having a family means there really is no such thing as 'routine'...how our nerves,emotions and love can be tested daily...how no one has to go through this alone and that friends and family will always be there to offer support...how humbling motherhood is...the list goes on.<br /><br />Your words are definitely a voice for autism, but they are also the voice of exceptional strength and the unconditional love a mother has for her children. I am proud and honored to call you my friend!<br /><br />Love you and miss you tons!<br />kAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-17737760645733656602011-05-04T11:55:07.167-04:002011-05-04T11:55:07.167-04:00Thank you both for reading.

Thank you.<br /><br />Cherish the hugs. I wish I could do that. Even when he was young and fell or hurt something, I couldn't pick him up and soothe. He would often tell us to leave because our instinct was to touch him in order to "help" but instead we were making it worse.<br /><br />I hope I don't make the depression worse.
