I\u2019m not sad.  I\u2019m not depressed.  But as I thought of myself and my children and the glorious stages of life that they are in; for a moment, my heart ached. It\u2019s true&#8230;..Comparison IS a thief of joy and yet, as a human, I am aware&#8230;.. Aware that my children arrive at their \u201cstages\u201d in their own times; and while other children may be moving through stages faster than mine&#8230;..mine arrive, in all their glory, at times that are perfect for them.  But the perpetual visitations of grief that accompany the awareness of the differences between what\u2019s mine and your\u2019s are still awkward.  And regardless of the love and joy and pride I have for mine, there are moments that steal your breath away as you come face to face with reality&#8230;&#8230;.as you let go of preconceived ideals and dreams and embrace the incredible vastness of what you have and the wonder of it all.  #specialneedsparenting #perpetualvisitationsofgrief #cachecreek <br \/><small>Posted by <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/instagrate-to-wordpress\/\">Intagrate Lite<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perpetual Visitations of GriefI experienced a pang of grief this afternoon.
