Being a parent of four incredible children I've often, over the years, reflected upon my advice and choices I've given and made concerning them, everything from the common mundane activities of daily adolescent life to the unwieldily, monumental difficult decisions as a parent both my husband and I have had to make. My children are the most important thing in my life and throughout the years I've learned a great deal from each one of them. These once wee ones otherwise known as my offspring have taught me what life truly is. From the very first moment they were placed and I felt them in my arms my life became more than what it already was; my existence became more clearer and held a deeper meaning. I would not be making decisions solely for myself anymore but likewise for these tiny bundles of joy I was blessed to have been given, at least until they became old enough to make their own adult assessments.
And with all these choices I've had to make on their behalf, some right and some wrong, my children, all unique in their own perfect way, trusted in me, trusted I knew best. They have enriched my life and each one of them has taught me life lessons I carry with me. I have learned deeper compassion and passion, to have patience, developed a fierce determination, and enforce a understanding of tolerance for those who may be ignorant to unseen difficulties. They have taught me self-awareness along with many other attributes. There has been many times throughout the years I have been the student, taking in and learning a tremendous amount of knowledge not to mention invaluable lessons from each and every one of them. Having an Aspie child I have learned to never give up hope; hope sometimes is all we have to hold on to.

My eleven year old daughter, who I came close to losing before she even made an appearance into this world, even back then, while I carried her within me taught me there's a reason for everything. She has been having some issues lately that have caused some concerns.
She loses her sense of balance along with her vision and then loses consciousness.
Her episodes have been scary to say the least. And so, along with prayer we carry with us hope because "There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow." ~ Orison Swett Marden
