Hey Ladies! Today’s an important day for our family. My oldest son, Davis, is graduating from Elementary school! {{squeal in delight with teary eyes}}
It’s a big deal as he was diagnosed with high functioning autism at 4 years old. I share this with you for two reasons:
1. To apologize for taking the day off, even though it’s been a couple days since I’ve featured new tips. I feel terrible and really hope you understand.
2. I’m so emotional about today. I’ll be honest, I’m an emotional wreck. It’s a new chapter for our family as Davis embarks upon the unknown adventures of intermediate school and leaves the comfort and simplicity of elementary.
For some reason, I feel impressed to share with you a little bit of our story in hopes that it will inspire those women who are facing the same challenges.
The poems I featured in the post have given me strength in the darkest times. Put them in a pretty frame and they make an encouraging gift that I promise will last years. I still read mine regularly.
I guess today is a different kind of tip, one of encouragement to those who are struggling. I do to. I hope this lifts you up!
xoxo

Congrats to your little man on graduating from elementary school! Have fun being a mom today! Everybody needs a day or two right?

Wow….can i just say between your post and Cindy's over at STML, i'm in awe. you guys are amazing… what you put out on these blogs is incredible, but the challenges and lives you have behind the scenes is where it counts. with mothers like you your children will thrive and they will make it!
Thank you for sharing this story! I sit here with tears running down my face. I too have a son that gave me a trip to Holland instead of Italy. I love that story and the poem!
Fabulous! As for a browser I recommend FireFox!
