Me at the Bridge School concert |
Does CP make it hard for me to talk yes Does it make hard for me to play sports? yes. Does it make my handwriting bad yes . Is it frustrating at times yes. Isn't frustration apart of life yes.
I think having CP has made me appreciate the little things in life. For example if I see a dragonfly I will watch it for a while I took this pic last fall of a inchworm. This does not mean I have a intellectual disablity, I did get an 88 on a statics test. Things come a lot harder for me simply means that i get to celebrate things more. I am not a optimistic person, yet when it comes to CP I do not feel like it is the worst thing that has happend to me ( in fact it is the easier then OCD which is not lifelong) My view on life may be different then others peoples but all I know is this if I had a chance to be average I would do it for a day, yet I would want to go back to being me Cp and all.
A penny for your thoughts
It is nice to hear you saying things like that. You make me realize that I do take for granted things that I should be stopping to marvel at. Dragonflies are amazing, adorable little creatures God has made! Of course I should take the time to admire their beuaty. Unfortunately, life often shoves us along and we miss such chances.
ReplyDeleteI do not think you would want to be average. You are who you are and to be anything else would mean that you are changing yourself. Everybody is special in their own way, so do not lose that! :)
Great post! I liked that you said 'having CP does not make me less of a person." I hope that parents who have a child just dx w/CP, or any disability, will find your blog and see this quote!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, AZ! You inspire me every single day. I am going to post it on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ellen! I am a mum to an amazing little boy with CP who is currently having difficulty accepting who he is. I am going to share your post with him, I think it will go a long way to help him see he is not alone out there! Keep blogging AZ!! x
ReplyDeleteIf my Sammie B turns out to have the self-awareness and amazing spirit that you have, I'll be one lucky mama! Thanks for sharing your story.
