Where does one draw the line between having high expectations for your child and not believing in them enough?
Where do you draw the line between believing that your child will be able to function on their own when they're an adult and accepting that the reality may not be that?
Where do you draw the line between believing in the power of prayer and accepting that this is your "normal"?
Where do you draw the line between hope and denial?
When you look at your child and think how life would be so different if it weren't for these damn delays, that line gets blurred because every parent has dreams for their child and every parent wants the best for their child and every parent wants to believe that their child will do great things. At the end of the day, you know it really doesn't matter where that line is when she wraps her arms around your neck because somehow she comforts YOU and let's you know that she's going to be okay.
Siahna is so lucky to have you and Jeff as parents. But you two are also so lucky to have her as a child! She is wonderfully made and just perfect!
