I'm on a roll!

     One goal I had for the summer is to get back to my blog. I started it way back when as a form of therapy but quickly decided I wanted it to be a way to help others, or at least let people in similar situations know they are not alone. I still want to do that in some form or fashion. I am exploring other sites to see if one might be more user friendly. I want to be able to post links and pictures and not just share my writing. The other problem is, I am not a Type A person at all. Although, I appear organized and put together, I AM NOT. I am definitely a "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of person. I rarely have a plan for anything and I hardly ever make lists when I go grocery shopping. I don't really have a "bucket list" and I have no clue what I want my future to hold.I kinda just take each day as it comes. What has really helped me is when I post this on Facebook and people make comments. That means that people are reading this. It may not be many and maybe some only read it once in a while, and everyone is a friend and probably most that read it know Colin. So, thanks for reading and maybe you can help me figure out how to make this more of a routine for myself, how to get "strangers" to read it, and what would make people want to read it. I'll keep writing and posting and hopefully you will keep reading.
     Changing gears here now. After today's post a few people commented offering support,etc. I don't want people thinking I am looking for sympathy, because I am not. I don't neccessarily think anyone that commented thinks that, it just made me think, "Do I sound desperate? Am I looking for sympathy?" Maybe, in some ways,  I just want people to know that sometimes, having a child that is not like everyone else, is hard. Sometimes. I know that having children, period, is hard. But, I don't ever want anyone to feel sorry for me in any way. I will admit, every once in a blue moon, I feel sorry for myself. But, that's it. So, you don't ever have to feel sorry for me.
     You see, I feel sorry for anyone that doesn't know Colin. I feel sorry for anyone that will never get the chance to meet him. But, I mostly feel sorry for the kids (and adults) who know who he is but dont' know HIM. They might know him on the surface but have never made an effort to talk to him or listen to him. I think if everybody gave him the time of day they would see what an outstanding person he is.He is SO in tune to other's feelings and worries about how other people feel, sometimes to the extreme. If you have Colin in your corner, then you are Golden!  SOOOOOOOO, for that I am blessed. Despite the hard times he has, if that is what makes him the kind, caring person he is, then  SO. BE. IT.
 
 Thanks for listening and thanks for reading!
