When You're A Frequent Flyer for Guilt Trips

As I'm moving through all the preparations for today, tonight, and tomorrow, I am carrying each and every one of you in my thoughts, heart, and prayers to be kind to yourself. After  finishing up Elisabeth's shower and dressing her just now, I prayed to get rid of this  weight of responsibility I feel for her. I prayed to be released from all the expectations and  guilt of never doing enough for her.   I  prayed for herculean strength to carry on because after doing this for 25 years, there are days I am exhausted, depreciated, and defeated.  And our loved ones, abled and disabled, deserve their dignity and quality life. They deserve the very best from each and every single one of us.  Their needs, their dignity, should not be something that weighs us down but lifts us up.  

Children are a gift to the world and should be treated as such.
