The special needs life is small and big. It’s small in that you feel like 90% of the other parents you meet can’t even picture what goes on within your four walls on a daily basis. And it’s big in the fact that it opens your life and heart wide open to other people who can help you and at least feel for<\/em> you if not like<\/em> you. It also makes you brave.<\/p>\n

I shared our story of the moment our house became handicap-accessible with Scary Mommy<\/strong><\/em> and they got it. They got that little thread that runs through all of parenting no matter who you or your kids are: we all have a hard time letting go.<\/p>\n
