Too meetings in the last week for Dominic. The first was his IEP meeting where we met with his More for 4s teacher, and a few other folks. Dominic and Rowan came along - nowhere else to put them.
The second meeting was in the afternoon, so no kids - just Jenny and me. This was to prep for kindergarten next year, and what kind of help or accommodations he might need.
One son that has autism - one son that has ADHD. Two so very different and similar...
Sometimes I'm not sure how I keep the tears in. These are my children, and I do everything...
I'm not really sure what everything is. Was there something I could have done earlier. Is there something I could do now. Is it better to stand back and do nothing.
How do I know when my choice is correct. Will I even find out if I was wrong.
Two sons.
Two different people.
Two different things that are trying to define them.
Two different people.
Two sets of initials that are trying to overpower them.
Is it my job to defy or accept, or is that too easy.
Right now, I've determined that I need help. Anyone who seems to sincerely be trying to help - gets to help.
My job is to find the help - I think.
No. My job is to love. My job is to use love my sons.
It is the easiest thing to love your sons, so I guess my job is not that hard.
