He may be special needs
but he is far from disabled.
He has an amazing sense of humour,
an amazing sense of self.
His dream is to become an “American gymnast”. (We live in Australia)
His smile is sunshine on a cloudy day
and somedays, when he slips
and calls me Mum, by accident
my heart quietly sings.
Got something to share?

Bringing up seven kids has led to in depth knowledge of asthma, autism, fetal alcohol syndrome and drug induced developmental delay, immune deficiency and autoimmune disease, ectodermal dysplasia, neonatal death and cardiac defect. Despite all of that, I didn't know I was about to start the ride of my life with the illness of my youngest daughter, Ivy.
