Dear Parents,<\/p>\n
You are working so hard to make your dream come true. Your dream of seeing your child losing her\/his autism. Alternatively, your second best dream, to see your child inspite of her\/his autism happy, independent, and successful. Most importantly, you work so hard to secure your child’s future, more than any other parents do.<\/p>\n
You are working outside the house to earn your living and provide for your family’s needs.<\/p>\n
Your work hard inside the house to offer your child peace, love, comfort, support, education, and therapy.<\/p>\n
You stay up late and wake up before anybody at home does to learn more about how to help your child grow and prosper.<\/p>\n
Between work and home you race to take your child to different activities and therapies.<\/p>\n
In the weekends you plan to take her out to entertain her and share real life experiences (restaurants, movies, friends’ parties…) and spend some precious happy moment with her.<\/p>\n
You attend IEP school meetings, you respond to teachers’ requests, you help with homework, you lend a hand with presentations, you arrange play dates.<\/p>\n
You join support groups, you go to medical appointments, you celebrate her birthday with family and friends, then once more with classmates.<\/p>\n
I didn’t even mention your responsibilities towards your other children, partner, or yourself.<\/p>\n
The list goes on.<\/p>\n
Have you ever thought about how much you do and endure?<\/p>\n
Give yourself a pat on the shoulder!<\/p>\n
You parents, you are all a troop of warriors fighting your battle relentlessly focused on one thing: the light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n
Be proud of yourselves. Because everybody else around you is watching with wonder and amazement: “How could you possibly be that strong-willed, committed, and determined?”<\/p>\n
The only thing I would like to remind you with is to never blame yourselves and say things like: “I should’ve done…, I ought to …, I must do…, I have to…”<\/p>\n
Take a break, we are not supernatural beings. We are human beings, we have limited endurance, time, patience, energy,…<\/p>\n
Parents, trust yourselves, Because your love is an inexhaustible source of all what your child could need.<\/p>\n
Don’t torment yourselves with irrealistic thoughts. Change your perspective.<\/p>\n
Do your best everyday. Don’t look back.<\/p>\n
Hand-in-hand with your child you can make it a happy enjoyable journey.<\/p>\n
Live one day at a time.<\/p>\n
After all you do, deep in your heart you know that your child is safe and happy. Look your child in the eyes and she’ll reassure you.<\/p>\n
Keep up the marvelous job!<\/p>\n
We are so proud of you.<\/p>\n
Keep your eyes on the light at the end of the tunnel, it keeps getting closer.<\/p>\n
Our hats are off for you all!<\/p>\n
