Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 That is something truly special and I hope is something that you will be able to summon back if in the future if non intentional hurtful things are said. I can only imagine how hard it would be to hear your child say they hate you, but at that age it must be hard for her to express what she really hates, which is the noise you are making not you yourself. Thank you for sharing that, that's something very very special.RSent from my BlackBerry® smartphone on 3Sender: Soundsensitivity Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 20:21:17 -0800 (PST)To: <Soundsensitivity >ReplyTo: Soundsensitivity Subject: a small victory Tonight as I checked my Facebook, I noticed that my 8 year old (the one with 4S) had gone on Facebook while at the library with her dad (keep in mind she has never posted anything on Facebook) and posted a little note that said, "I love my mommy." I looked at her as she came in the room and asked her if she did that, thinking my 13 year old must have...to my surprise she said yes. Immediately tears began to stream down my face. She looked at me so touched and asked why I was crying. I just looked at her and said " for a year all you have said to me is that you hate me, to hear that means the world to me." Granted it was just a simple little gesture but it gave me something that 4S had taken away...Hope! Sharing the small victories, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 That story almost made me cry as well. Your daughter sounds like an awesome kid! I suggest we create the first-ever holiday specifically for people with 4S: National Thank-Your-Parents-For-Standing-Behind-You-No-Matter-What Day. (I hope someone can suggest a shorter title, because we're going to have a heck of a time fitting that one into our desk calendars). On National TYPFSBYNMW Day, kids with 4S will celebrate by admitting to their parents that their support is what makes the difference between hope and despair. (Flowers optional). Celebrate on any day of the year that you can, or whenever a family member is looking particularly worn out. To and all of the other heroic parents in this group: happy TYPFSBYNMW Day! Rest assured that your kids appreciate what you do for them much more than you think they do. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find my awesome mom and celebrate TYPFSBYNMW day right now. Best wishes and happy TYPFSBYNMW day to everyone! -Kate > > Tonight as I checked my Facebook, I noticed that my 8 year old (the one with 4S) > had gone on Facebook while at the library with her dad (keep in mind she has > never posted anything on Facebook) and posted a little note that said, " I love > my mommy.
