Wow. Thank you to Heidi and Junior for sending me an email to share this video. Every once in awhile, I come across something that feels like it was created just for me in that exact moment, something just like this....
Written by Karen Taylor-Good and Lisa Aschmann
We had such expectations, we would soon be giving birth
To the next Chopin, the next Einstein, the greatest child on earth
And we’d be the perfect family, soon we’d have the perfect kid
We’d never have a challenge or a problem, God forbid
Oh but Life had different plans, so I need for you to understand
Don’t desert me, don’t ignore
I need friends now more than I ever did before
Show compassion but please don’t pity me
I’m a parent just like you, it’s true
But I have special needs
I need you to notice that my life’s different from yours
I need you not to judge me, don’t condemn and don’t keep score
I’d love an extra pair of hands, or just a hug or two
I need you to acknowledge that I carry more than you
Got the world here on my back, so I just thought I would ask
Don’t desert me, don’t ignore
I need friends now more than I ever did before
What you take for granted comes so hard for me
I’m a parent just like you, it’s true
But I have special needs
I need answers, I need help, it’s so much work
And a miracle or two sure wouldn’t hurt
Don’t desert me, don’t ignore
I need friends now more than I ever did before
It’s not the life that I’d have chosen, but it’s the life that’s chosen me
I’m a parent just like you, it’s true
But I have special needs
I need you to listen, I need you to care
I need your understanding, I need you just to be there
I need your friendship, maybe a hug or two
Oh God I need a miracle………

Wow. That was profound. She said it just right. Way to make me cry first thing in the morning.
Oh Tara the tears are falling!! I so needed that this morning!!! I have been struggling with Tucker and that was such a sweet reminder and a feeling like I can do this!! You are so inspired and wonderful!! Thanks for what I needed today!! That was beautiful!! Hope you are well!!
I think later on in the week I will post it on my blog if you don't mind!! If you haven't go and listen to the one I posted on mine about Emily Freeman that has also been strength for me!! Have a good day!
Sitting here in tears. Thank you so much for posting this. It expresses this struggle so profoundly and perfectly.
