hopefully this post will help someone.
i try my best to be honest on this blog. i hate "sugar coating" and i hate fake responses to real issues.
that being said...
i want everyone to know that liam said today, "garland go play on the trampoline?"
this is a huge deal.
saying "trampoline" and involving g in it!
but there is still the mommy guilt.
jenny m. said it so clearly in her book. it never goes away.
did i make this happen to him? what did i do so wrong that he has to deal with that the rest of his life???
mommy guilt sets in.
and then...then! i remember that everything happens for a purpose.
i remember that GOD is omnipotent. i remember this.
having a special needs child...well, it's a challenge. but i'm ready and willing to meet that challenge head-on.
liam and i are STRONGER than this.
mommy guilt be GONE!

Way to go, Liam!!
Mommy guilt hit me over the head big time this week too. After something happened, I saw so clearly how I had set a bad example for Lily. Ouch. Hate that feeling. Thanks for the reminder that God is in control. We need to just kick that guilt to the curb and leave it there when it tries to come creeping back in.
Love you Heather! Thanks for the honesty, and for letting us see how far Liam has come!
How about daddy guilt? My son might not be deaf today if I had decided differently at a critical time. It is done, and I cannot undo it. I have to trust that my Father is not pleased by me hating myself, and that He understands and forgives. A painful lesson learned, for future reference, if ever needed.
Fabulous, Liam! You have a fabulous mommy. I know you know that somewhere deep inside. You are precious to her.
Heather, mommy guilt is the worst kind. And always remember that guilt is not of God. At all. Ever.
Guilt is not from God, my dear. You are amazing because He is your strength. He will give you all you need to be the best mama to sweet Liam.
