[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 572982, member: 8831"] i think i probably came to terms with it when i stopped thinking in "always" and "nevers"....the one thing i've learned over the last 20 years is that kids are amazing and the second you think it will "always" be this way or it will "never" happen is the second that the improbable happens. and while its a challenge to remain in the moment sometimes, i do try to remind myself that i really have no idea what the next 20 years will bring. that part is a work in progress for me. i just know that as you support them and work with their challenges instead of against them it gets infinitely easier. your kids are VERY young...the good news is they have lots of time. maybe it will be more difficult, maybe it will redefine "normal" or just maybe it will bring great joy to your lives....and the sense of pride you might feel in them with the smallest of accomplishment is enormous. but talking about how you feel never hurt anyone either ;-) [/QUOTE]
