Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I just saw that too and was crying through the entire show. Very sad, (mom to London ASD, SCD 6 mon. ) > I was watching Oprah today as I was cooking dinner. I have never seen such a sad show in my life. For those of you that missed it, it was about women who for one reason or another had lost their children. Ex-husbands shooting all the children and then killing themselves, children getting burned while in the car for two minutes and a child who was left in the car while the mom ran into a convenience store and the car was stolen and the child killed. These women were so courageous to continue you on. I said to myself " Thank God my child only has autism. Thank you so much for my children. I have difficult days as we all do but it could never even remotely compare to what these women are going through. " > > So just that little thought for the day....cherish them always and be thankful for the great gifts that they are, autism and all. > > Penny > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I saw it too. My little guy (4 1/2 yrs old PDD) told me the show made him very sad. I couldn't believe it. I am so thankful he finally understands certain emotions. Let's all be very thankful for what we have and look forward to the future. As challenging as our lives can all be raising an autistic child, our lives are better than those poor women on Oprah today.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Penny, I watched it also and cried through the whole show. It made me remember that there are so many others that have it worse than us. karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 , My 94 year old aunt lost her husband and two children (as adults). All committed suicide. Somehow she has not only gone on but managed to derive some enjoyment from life as well. Well we are getting a bit off topic. Our dedication here is definitely to life!
