The Princess and The Prosthetic

A Message From God to a Special Needs Mama

December 21, 2020 in Sentiments, Warrior Princess - No Comments

Dear Mama,

I have a special job for you.

I’m going to send you a warrior princess.

I’m going to make her look like her Daddy.  Have your nose and the same sunshine spun through her hair that you do.  She will have his stubborn streak and your dogged determination.  She will look markedly different than other kids though and the world will try to tell you part of her is lacking.  Broken.  Imperfect.

They are wrong.

She is perfectly and wonderfully whole.

I won’t be able to send you a guidebook or a road map.  You’ll have to follow your heart a lot of the time.  Most of the time you will have to listen to your gut, follow your instincts, and do the best that you can. I know you are strong enough to do that.

I can’t tell you there won’t be times that you fall down.  Times that you will rage at me.  Times you will feel lost and alone. Times that your heart feels broken.  But I trust you and only you to walk this path.

I’m going to make her happy….

But first I have to make her strong.  There will be large mountains to climb and some dark valleys to traverse.  Hold tight to those who stay by your side through the journey–those are your guardian angels.

I know you will light the path for the people on it behind you.  Illuminate it and show them that it’s possible to make it through.  Be the light like I know you can be, Mama.

Her milestones will look differently than others.  Do not look to other’s to measure her progress.  You are running your own race not theirs.

The world isn’t built for people like her yet.  You will need to be her voice, her champion, and her biggest advocate.  Share your story with the world–that’s how we will enact change.  Lead by example, teach where you can, and always be kind.

Even when others are ignorantly not.

I picked you for a reason.  You are the only one in the entire universe that I could give this role to.

This child to.

There will be grief and sadness.  I can’t tell you there won’t be.  But there will also be laughter and joy.  Love and happiness.  Incredible opportunities and hard work. Peace, gratitude, adventure and excitement.

She will be worth it.

I promise.

–God

Hi Y'all! I’m Jaime, a proud working mama, author, girl boss and wifey to an ultra-adorable husband. I am a huge book nerd, I drink coffee like my life depends on it, and run on dry shampoo and Amazon Prime. Leopard print is my favorite color. I am a story teller at heart and this blog is a virtual scrapbook of our crazy beautiful life. I'm a Type One Diabetic and our little warrior princess Callie is a lower limb amputee. By sharing how we’ve chosen to flourish in the garden we’ve been planted in, we hope you can take some small nuggets of hope, inspiration, and laughter. We are so grateful that you’ve found us—welcome to the fam. We embrace our perfectly imperfect lives and don’t let the doctor’s appointments, spreadsheets, speaking engagements, 10th birthday parties to plan, housework or date nights overwhelm us. Those things are just the beautiful reminders of all the blessings in our lives. Read More
