A Different Dream for My Child
Almost every parent with a special needs or learning disabled child says that she never thought parenting would be this difficult or that her child would be so intense and challenging (both mentally and physically).
Let's face it. We all had "a different dream" for our child.
Today I came across a website that hits to the heart of the matter. The site is called Different Dream by Jolene Philo.
Jolene's journey begins with a chronically ill child. Throughout her website she offers encouragement, faith, and even practical applications like meal planning (which must occur between doctor and hospital visits).
While I am not one to ask myself "Why did God let this happen to our child?" I have found Jolene's advice resourceful and inspiration. One of my favorite recent posts is Make Family Occasions Fun for Special Needs Kids.
Thank you Jolene for sharing your journey with us!
