Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Oh Bonnie- It is wonderful to be heard, met and cradled in the safety of your reading. What you have written here is so " both/and " ...I literally have to breath mindfully to absorb it. " Our children do not fit in anywhere " and " they shouldn't have to. " " it isn't all wonderful " , and " she's being totally embraced by all " And most importantly - " she has joy again " . I am being reminded that joy isn't tethered to belonging or to being in a conflict free premise. I am elated that she has joy! I feel joyous sharing in the knowing of it! Thank you so much for paving our roads - and cherishing our hearts- Yuka Re: Vanilla Deaf Casey, Patty applied to Galludet and wasn't accepted because they said she had too many disabilities to appropriately serve her. Although Patty is totally finding her life in the deaf world it isn't all wonderful. Nothing is. Our children do not fit anywhere really. But they shouldn't have to. It's up to us as parents and family to point out to each other the bad so other children do not have to go down those hard dark roads. We also must point out the good so that our children's roads may be paved a bit here and there. Patty is fitting in to the deaf world as she is. She's being totally embraced by all. She has joy again. Bonnie, Mom to Kris 23, Patty CHARGE 21 and wife to ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
