[QUOTE="Star*, post: 552451, member: 4964"] So I'm late to your party and I refuse to attend your paradox..........I guess my gift to you would be a paradigm. I decided long ago that not everything a therapist said was true. My life despite its many ups and downs was not a contradiction of itself. I mean if I was attending therapy to better myself? How could it be in the end that I had lived and continued to live to only be a contradiction of truth? I wanted to be for myself and my son and those around me - an better example of what was good, HOW I was supposed to be....HOW WE ALL were supposed to be - I strive every day and fail......to be more like my higher power - but I try. There fore I am NOT a contradiction or a paradox......but rather a paradigm - a good example .......like you RA... So maybe this year you can realize that you've broken the mold. You have risen above even yourself in as much as -------you are no longer in that same place spinning your wheels, in a rut, trying to get out, but rather that you have gotten out, and you HAVE set a standard even for a daughter that has challenges far beyond what most of the world could scarecely understand. And look at you! Take a good long look in the mirror at yourself. Are you like everyone else? Hmmm? I think not. Are you where you were when you started therapy? Are you where you once were with your daughter? Your brother? Yourself? The truth to me? Is that you are setting an example. Not in spite of yourself but because of the knowledge you have gained in living a life that few could survive......and that to me says so much about your character..and it's ability to break out and be ......UNIQUE. Not casual, not contradictory. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ONE.....HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!! You deserve this day (or that day to be accurate) and so much more. And as far as your brother? Stop pitying him because of what YOU consider his limited abilities. He is how he is because he is also UNIQUE......not normal....and beautiful........he never needed saving. He just needed understanding and you have given him that his entire life. YOu just didn't understand that - THAT is what he needed and you already gave it to him because your heart wanted to give so much more because you are so beautiful. HUGS and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Much Love Star [/QUOTE]
