I totally understand what you're saying. My daughter is now 36 years old. Yes, it hurts . . . but through the years I have also seen the most amazing people take time to make her feel so loved. When she was in school, there were always those that tried to ridicule her or take advantage of her - but, surprisingly, there were so many that treated her like nothing at all was different about her. I also had 5 normal children. They too came home from school with stories of how they were made fun of or mistreated. You're right . . . that's life. I pray your daughter is much-loved by others as their hearts melt at her sweet smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671950453367779439.post-86373252050886610272014-04-22T20:46:09.068-04:002014-04-22T20:46:09.068-04:00I only made it half way through the first paragrap...I only made it half way through the first paragraph before the tears came. This isn't even my child, but it could have been. And will be. Maybe she won't have the communication barriers, which I realize only make it more difficult, but someday someone will be mean to my kid and it already breaks my heart. This! This breaks my heart. For you and for L. I want to fly to wherever you are and scoop up this child I've never met and protect her from the world. Protect all the kids always. You earned that ugly cry. I'm sure mine is coming.doahleighhttp://www.doahleigh.comnoreply@blogger.com
