A new life

Much is changing in our lives. Nathan is now 5 and starting part-time kindergarten. Izzy is becoming more independent every day. Gryffin will be here in 2 weeks! We’ve had some growing pains around here but I am happy to report that it feels like the dawn of a new era for our little family.
An era where Nathan’s disability is not the leading motivator for our actions
An era where Nathan is just another little boy; a very happy, easy going one at that.
An era of deep acceptance, where I no longer feel I have to control things on Nathan’s behalf.
Letting go of the need to control, letting go of that inability to accept things the way they are, has been the most beautiful, fantastic change in my life, one that is setting the foundation for a new life for our little family
A happy, relaxed, easy-going life…busy, for sure, but happy
A life full of love, enjoyment, and lots and lots of kisses
It’s a new era for us. It’s a new era for ME.
An era where I am acutely aware that, without self-care, I don’t have much to give those around me. An era where I am not trying to control the future, where I am allowing life to happen as it must.
An era without the word “disability” in it. Because I finally see Nathan as what he really is – a gorgeous happy little boy.
A time to embrace change.
Welcome, new life. We embrace you. Take us where you will. Our little family is ready to grow.
