They'll be exposed to my child enough during in-passing encounters, and either they'll learn more just through casual interaction, or they'll live in their own ignorance. I just have to hope that my daughter's support system around her is strong enough to either sway those others through peer pressure, or just strong enough that those others just don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. I don't think it bothers her anywhere near as much as it bothers me, so I view it more as *my* problem. Oh, I write these words and hope, hope, hope I am true to them...easier said than done sometimes!!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-12966797220917727392013-04-08T12:08:39.289-04:002013-04-08T12:08:39.289-04:00Sweet, not selfish at all.

My heart fluttered and I instantly asked her if they planning on staying in our home town...She said yes and we became instant life friends...and now her daughter and Maddie share 2 days a week together in life therapy skills...they are friends and it put to bed some of my fears of her being alone in the terms of true friendship that only another person with an extra chromosome can understand...I now she will have friends but I want more than just a friend I want lifelong bonds for my kids...love the treasure that you all received...smilesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551567304485458524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-58789579595965878782013-04-05T17:46:34.195-04:002013-04-05T17:46:34.195-04:00You are so not alone in this!!

The...Sammi will find her prince though...I know it. There will always be good people in our kids lives because they are good friends to others. They bring out the real people, and the ones I would want my older daughter to have as friends. Look at how much life has surprised you in such a wonderful way in the past six years. I am convinced it only gets better. I loved that book that girl made...what a thing to be cherished forever.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01201595211241091609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-90398412489840184942013-04-05T08:38:01.063-04:002013-04-05T08:38:01.063-04:00Don't feel alone I have and do the same thing....Don't feel alone I have and do the same thing. wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771187881429333283noreply@blogger.com
