Ok, my first blog entry. Harder than I thought to start it off...
The last almost 2 years have been focussed on me being a parent of a disabled child. For the last almost 2 years that statement has probably almost completely defined me. I relied on Facebook to befriend other parents in similar situations. And its almost taken over my life.
Well, this is my life now. It takes a while to get used to, like another language you need to learn along with everything. But lifes not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain right? So bring it on.
I've been a bit unnerved by a couple of friends recently revamping their Facebook pages, to cut them back down for close friends and family, the main parts of their lives, their other interests and friends. I completely agree. And think I may jump on the bandwagon with that. And the blog, but then again I've been meaning to start that since finn was tiny and we first realised he had complex medical needs. But then it'd be all about finn and not me, my gorgeous girl or man. So this blog, this, right here this is for me, but I might sometimes talk about my fantastic family occasionally.
Discombobulated green eyes. Thrown into a state of confusion. Not half! I was gonna go with my being a redhead but after being beaten to it I decided to go with my 2nd colourful feature. It's all about me after all.
Picking up the pieces of me. Pieces that haven't really had a look in for the last almost 2 years. My plans and my dreams, even if they do have to stay hidden for a few more years. Cos I do still carry them with me. But right now day to day, I need to try and concentrate on being the best mum that I can be. Helping my family find some kind of normality in an abnormal lifetime. The main thing? Happiness.
