THANKSGIVING WEEK

[username]

the fact that we might not be together as a family for Thanksgiving?

That ^^^^^

Gotcha. I'd really like some normal about now. It wasn't always like this. Her therapists asked me to bring her pictures...I brought a random stack and we went through them. She played all the sports (soccer, baseball/softball, basketball), we had great times on vacations etc. My favorite pictures were the ones where she exhibited absolute, childlike, JOY!! It was always a little bit challenging but in 8^th grade she just fell off the cliff (for lack of a better description).

The last two years have been hell honestly. I had a minor break down myself over the whole thing (which was why I wasn't posting much for awhile). I physically and emotionally hit a freaking wall.

Yeah, a little normal would be heaven. Who am I to complain though? She's the one that's missing out on school dances, crushes...all the regular teen stuff. Breaks my heart every fucking day.

Now if that isn't a cheery Happy Thanksgiving post, I don't know what is.
