Blog because...

I started this blog as a place to do some prewriting, thinking, and venting...hence it is a blog. It seemed self-indulgent and kind of silly. However, when it was eventually shared with my one to five people audience, it was well received. Primarily by the target audience it was intended for...moms and dads struggling with the unbelievable task of parenting a special needs child who requires an inordinate amount of time, patience, and grace. It is a nonstop, 24 hour challenge, pocketed with even more difficult situations and experiences you could have never ever imagined. Yet, here we sit and sigh. We are blessed with a child who sleeps all night. So many others in this boat have children who rarely sleep. I pray for those parents daily. The point is this blog may ramble, rant, and occasionally be nonsensical. However, this blog is a celebration of one more day, week, month of progress. Even if I don't always see that daily, weekly or monthly.
