As he sleeps, I watch him. I watch him & wonder what he is dreaming. Deep down, I know we share many wishes, wants & dreams that are the same.
One dream is to have a family one day. Neither of us ever expected a family to come right away, but I know we also never expected that starting a family would be so difficult & something we still struggled with seven years into marriage.
Yet here we are.
It's something that I don't talk about often, & if so, rarely on a very public blog. It's just that sometimes I am very aware that not everyone is supportive of us having kids, & I really don't care to hear anything that is less than supportive.
And I'm here to say, what I've always said - Cerebral Palsy isn't genetic; People who use wheelchairs or have a disability can be excellent parents, even if they have to do things a little differently.
Then again, I have have always done things differently. This is all I have ever known.
Still I count my blessings & give thanks for them. I am who He has made me & I am blessed by my life, even the things that many would not consider to be blessings.
Still I give thanks for the struggles too. And I wonder how can I not?
For it is in those struggles that I grow the most. It is in those trying times that I am reminded how blessed I truly am.
