Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I am embarassed to say that I have not dug down deep enough to muster what I need to take Josh to worship. However, Josh and I did write a goal for it and I will not let another year go by without building this important connection in his life. Our Parish (St. of the Cross) seems so full of "perfect people" with perfect children. I am uncomfortable with what I perceive as potential judgement and an unwelcome attitude. It could be misconstrued; there have been no indication that Josh would not be welcome. I have attended Mass often enough to know that I have not once observed a single person with a disability who had trouble sitting or keeping quiet or fully participating in the service. It's a large parish so I know statistically, there must be children, young adults and adults who have similiar challenges to Josh - I just don't know where they are. There are so many places we like to go or have to go - it's easy to let worship go the wayside. I am determined to face my fears and help Josh build another supportive community. Maybe in January. <G> Pam and Josh (18 Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome) --Strengthening the Family's Voice of AAC / Promoting communication for people with complex communication needs /group/PACT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
