Attention Grandmas
We have our wonderful Autism community here and it occurred to me that we also need the ability to recognize the Grandmas out there on our friends lists, or in my case a way to remember period, I have "Louise Disease" (the ability not to remember a darn thing) :) I wanted to gather a list of Grandmas so that I could share them with other Grandmas. If you are interested in adding your name to the list, please click here to send me a message.

Heaven's Very Special Child
A meeting was held quite far from Earth!
It's time again for another birth.
Said the Angels to the LORD above,
This Special Child will need much love.
His progress may be very slow,
Accomplishments he may not show.
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets down there.
He may not run or laugh or play,
His thoughts may seem quite far away,
In many ways he won't adapt,
And he'll be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful where he's sent,
We want his life to be content.
Please LORD, find the parents who
Will do a special job for you.
They will not realize right away
The leading role they're asked to play,
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for their gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild,
Is HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD.

Before I Go To Sleep...
Mommy, don't you cry now
and Daddy don't you weep.
I want to whisper something
before I go to sleep.
I know that when I came here
I looked perfect in every way.
And you were so proud, Daddy;
when you held me on that day.
And Mommy, when you kissed me
and wrapped me up so tight,
I knew that I belonged here
and everything was right.
But then I stopped talking
and began to slip away,
I saw your worried faces
as you knelt by me to pray.
And Daddy, I always notice how
you wipe away a tear,
When you watch the other children
as they run and laugh and cheer.
I may not be able to tell you
how much I love you so,
Or even show you how I feel
and what I really know.
But when you hold me, Mommy,
at night when all is still,
I feel the love you have for me
and I know that all is well.
And Daddy, when you take me
to the park to run and play
I know that you still love me
though the words I cannot say.
I want to tell you something
before I go to sleep.
I may be sort of direct
and you may not understand,
I know that I am not that little child
that you and Daddy planned.
But I love you both so very much
and I know you love me too,
And if I could only speak my heart,
you would feel my love for you.
I know the future is unknown
and you will always have to be,
The ones who love and listen
and take good care of me.
I know that you are frightened
and you shed so many tears,
And if I could I'd wipe them dry
and take away your fears.
So Mommy, don't you cry now
and Daddy please don't weep.
I want to say... I love you both,
before I go to sleep.

Blessed Are You
Blessed are you who take the time
to listen to difficult speech,
If I persevere, I can be understood.
Blessed are you who never
bid me to "hurry up"
Or take my tasks from me
and do them for me.
For I often need time, rather than help.
Blessed are you who stand beside me
as I enter new and untried ventures,
Myself and You.
Blessed are you who ask for my help.
For my greatest need is to be needed.
Blessed are you who, with a smile
encourage me to try once more.
Blessed are you who never remind me
That today I ask the same question twice.
Blessed are you who respect me
and love me just as I am.

I'd like to meet:
I would like to meet others with Autistic children. I also would like to meet others with COPD. I'm not interested in dating but I would love to make new friends.
I'm almost certain this is an ultrasound of my grandson, Bryce :) My Precious, Little, Lean, Mean, Racing Machine

Walk Beside Me ~ Hold My Hand
Oh, please don't walk in front of me.
It's hard to follow all you do.
I need some guidance constantly,
And depend... alot on you.
Perhaps my progress may be slow.
Perhaps I'll need some extra care.
With faith, I'm sure you'll get to know.
There are blessings we can share.
And, please don't walk in back of me.
Don't push me quickly on my way.
I need your patience, and I plea
That you'll teach me what to say.
I may be known as handicapped.
Some folks may say I'm just "not right"
And though I often don't adapt,
Angels keep me in their sight.
So, please except me... this I ask,
Although I'm different than the rest.
The Lord has given me a task,
And with childlike faith... I'm blest.
Such peace of mind can stir much love
Somehow my innocence was planned
I'm on a mission from above
