Nor has it been bestowed in the past years. In fact, I am sure I won't qualify in the future either. You are doing THE best you can. This stuff is hard. Feeling utterly overwhelmed is sadly the normal in our lives. But, I will point out, for your self-esteem, that whatever is eating you at home, you have been an amazingly generous and kind friend, there to provide us with love and support (and a meal!) during vacation week. Thank you. No one else did. No one even offered. You rock, things will get better, the Joy School will become more real, and Benjy, who like every other kids with his stuff really needs the structure we simply can't provide at home, will get back into the groove of school and do spectacular. I know this because I have faith in him, in you, in the school, and also know it's sometimes two steps forward/one step back. That's okay. Just know we are always here for you, to be part of your village if you want some more company in it.justamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793820386900097253noreply@blogger.com
