[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 390918, member: 805"] Hex, We seem to do this every year or so and I aways have more things to add to the list! Many are the same as yours - taking the joy in the small things like unabashed laughter since that is more precious to me than a sports trophy. Empathy, empathy, empathy. I truly believe I have always been a caring, sensitive, and overly optimistic person. But the addition of difficult child in my life truly taught me what it is like to stop, pause, look, and listen before passing judgement. There are so many reasons my life has been enriched because of my difficult child. I cannot even fathom not having him in my life or him being any different that he is. Certainly he is high maintenance, and stress-producing, and time consuming, and frustrating, and demanding, and expensive. But he is so much more than that to me. Being his mother has made me a better person - absolutely no doubt. Thanks Hex, Sharon [/QUOTE]
