[QUOTE="Malika, post: 426990, member: 11227"] At least I won't face that problem - there are no school proms or their equivalents, here or in the UK! Graduation from university is celebrated in quite a big way, I suppose. It seems to me there is a real grieving with having a "different" child.... the life he/she is going to lead and the life the parents will lead is not going to be the standard one. It's not going to be the norm. It is, maybe, the road less travelled (cf Robert Frost and M. Scott Peck!). There is a beauty and a richness to be found along that road - I really do believe and experience that sometimes, it's not just hollow words - but, being human, of course we do wish that the difficult things could be different. I feel there is such strength and courage in many of the people who post here - that in itself is inspiring. [/QUOTE]
