It’s Monday
It’s the first day of Spring
It’s my third IEP meeting in 7 weeks.
I told our son this morning I would be back at school today and that he would come in to say hi.
He said, “but why ?” I just smiled .
Why?
Because our job as parents is to protect and guide.
Because a child with special needs has the same rights but a whole different path to get them.
Because we are the fiercest parents and nothing will stop us from trying to help our kids reach their potential.
I had anxiety going to sleep last night, I woke up dreading today, I was a little more edgy this morning. Then, I reminded myself that this is what I have to do. My son cannot. I will take a deep breath, get ready to listen to all the things he cannot do and I will be the voice to share all he can.
Because I can, that is why.
