dear alexander,
your left ear was "turned on" today. you didn't embrace the moment like you did before, when your right ear was activated. i know it is uncomfortable, you tell me so when you say "ow" and "no". your new ear is fuzzy and it bothers you. watching you in pain makes me want to take all the wires off then run away with you, away from it all. though i know and you will know that all of this will be for the best. i promise the pain will go away. over time everything will become clearer. for now we will take it one day at a time, you and me together to unlock your potential.
love always,
mom
What a heaven sent mother you are to him and a wonderful example to me!
ReplyDeletei totally agree with emily. what a sweet mom you are. i hope his ear feels less fuzzy soon.
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet little guy.
The beginning of that clip reminded me of the emotion I feel when I have to do things to/for Mia that she hates, things that in the moment can seem cruel. I want to make it stop, but have to love her enough to be able to do things that are hard, but necessary. Mimi described it as wanting to "kidnap" her own baby from the hospital and get her to a safe place. These tough lessons make me love these kids all the more. Glad to see Al is doing so good.
ReplyDeleteYou and Alexander inspire me.
