That’s all.
So Caleb had a hard day at school today. Kids are mean. Teachers and grownups can be mean sometimes too. The world is a hard place these days, but it’s especially hard for those with special needs. Today was one of those days—the ones where your kid says that he’s sad there are bullies and grownups that don’t understand him, and you have no argument for it. When you feel the weight of all that in your own life as an adult, it’s hard to find the words to convince your child that there are nice people too. (outside of family and close friends of course) Caleb wants the whole world to be nice, so it’s a crushing reality to find out that’s not true. Caleb and I are alike in that, so at times I don’t know what to say. I just listen, which sometimes is all he needs. But today I think he needed more.
I said what I said.
Wow I am ridiculously proud of these three!!!!
repeat after me: “I’m doing the best I can.”
