Hi, well here I am!! At age 53….trying to find myself! I’ve led a fairly eventful life…going from one episode to another…as most folks do. We married young, my husband and I, we were only 18. We started our family after only eleven months and it has since been on…as they say. Until June 16, 2002 our lives were fairly normal. We became grandparents at age 39……the first six seemed to come in rapid succession..healthy..robust little rascals….the ‘six amigos’, I called them….and … then came Jimma… and….everything changed!!!!!! ….it can never be the same!!!
Nobody expects to have a child born with special needs!! Every baby seems to be perfect when we first meet them… don’t they? At least that’s what we expect!!….don’t we? But this little package of perfection took a different form….Jimma…our perfectly special..special child…….
Now that she’s gone….I don’t know what to do … how to continue on……I am now searching for the path my feet must continue on….for go on I must….there is so much to tell…..so much to share…if only I can find the way…..
