When Callie was born and it was apparent that she was going to have different needs, I felt this enormous responsibility to be her voice.
To figure out why this warrior was sent to us.
To advocate for her.
Then to make sure we were living up to that full potential….whatever that may be.
If I’m totally honest, its sometimes not clear.
Like how do we talk about this?
Who do we talk to? Who are we supposed to help?
How much do we share?
So it doesn’t sound like we feel sorry for ourselves or are complaining?
How do we find a balance where this isn’t the only thing we talk about? Or should it be? Is it ok if I talk about funny things she says? Or cute outfits we wear? Is that ok even though I feel like our family has this much bigger message to share?
Unfortunately, there’s not really a blue print for this….I’m really just kinda figuring out what it means to be in this role as a special needs mama to a warrior princess. So thank you for letting me tell our story and letting us figure it out together. Your acceptance, support, and love mean the world to us.
