My heart is breaking

Originally posted 2018-06-15 14:38:27. This will be the hardest thing I have ever done. I have to somehow suppress the expression on my face because Dusty is watching me like a hawk. He knows something is up. This hurts so much. I don’t know how to let go of my mother. I don’t know how to live my life without her. I don’t know how I will ever explain it to Dusty. I pray to…

Starts at home

Originally posted 2023-08-06 17:39:39. Parents, Grandparents, Guardians…School is starting and I want to ask you a favor… Sit down with your child for 5 minutes and explain that there is no reason to make fun of someone for being tall, short, chubby, skinny, black, white or hispanic, Autistic, etc. There’s nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes 👞👟 every day. Explain to them that a used backpack 🎒 carries the same dreams as a new…

Originally posted 2018-06-12 13:09:01. I need your prayers, miracles. My heart hurts and I just can’t do life without my momma. She is in the fight for life and I will likely not be on social media much. Her kidneys took a hit and need to heal in order for them to do any chemo or radiation. Cancer is in her liver and lungs and they need to see if it is in her brain…

The Big C

Originally posted 2018-06-06 11:13:07.   As I sit here looking of inspiration for each keystroke I hold back tears. The normal daily routine of getting my son up to take his medications doesn’t stop for anything. Hearing the words in my head over and over… CANCER… My mother has beaten colorectal cancer just a few years ago. Her body still trying to recover from the chemo and radiation. Then having to have her arteries bypassed…

Repetitious

Originally posted 2021-09-18 09:00:22. The past month has been a bunch of repeats. Over and over I go. It’s been my husband, myself, my son, my best friend and the dogs. Each of us has had at least one appointment. To tell you the truth it has been more than just one. From my laser hair removal to massage therapy. To pain management to ear, nose, and throat specialist. Then our normal primary doctor’s appointments.…

Generic

You know the times you run low on your meds, and you just call the pharmacy and get more? Yeah, well, that’s now how it worked this time… 🤦‍♂️ Dusty told us he had one of his meds… “One pill mom” 😳😳😳 Yeah, ummmm… majority of the time, it’s no big deal. Even though we have been trying to get him to understand that he needs to tell us a lot sooner. I keep his…

Soapy

Originally posted 2023-06-19 10:40:55. We have been trying to find the right hand soap for our son for the longest now. We have tried the Dial pump hand soap, which he used extremely fast. Then we tried some of the other of brand ones which he just didn’t get his hands clean. One we tried from Sam’s Club was the Safeguard pump hand soap. It wasn’t bad it just seems to get used up quicker.…

Fav foods…

Originally posted 2019-02-06 08:24:03. This kid of mine ❤’s his burritos. Anyone else’s autistic child or autistic adult have a massive love for burritos? He got a California burrito – my husband says because he saw it had french fries in the description. His main menu consists of hot dogs, burritos, more hot dogs more burritos… I mean he does eat other foods but for the most part that is what he asks for. Maybe…
