There are a couple of reasons I resumed blogging.
The first is I really missed the processing blogging allowed me. Charles can attest (repeatedly) of times we have fought, and I am an irrational person, and I go away, process things and come back in a much saner frame of mind. Blogging allowed for that processing.
There was the desire to reach out to mums of special needs kids, who might be worried their reactions to their children, their accomplishments, their words aren't normal, aren't right. Folks, it is an uneven playing field. Just like we can't compare our kids, we can't compare our reactions and behaviors.
Lastly, within a very short time frame, two people I am close to were diagnosed with serious illnesses. Although neither of them are critical, I did get to thinking again. Of preservation. Would Charles want to know my thoughts, or how I really meant to react? Would the kids want to know how I thought and did on a daily basis? If so, I can do that for them.
So Im back, and it's good.
I'm glad you're back! I had missed you.
