Preschool day 2. Today there were tears. Very special tears. The type of tears that only caregivers to special children get to witness. Why? Because a child with special needs has innate ability to reach deep into another human and bring out emotions they may not have known they even had. For some people its the moment they realize that every little task from a person with special needs takes more hard work and concentration than their typical peers. That each of these tasks are done for the sole reason to be able to just meet the others where they already naturally are. Other people just get overwhelmed by the sheer sweetness in a tiny soul that has overcome so much more than they should have been given to begin with. Some tears are shared. Like todays. I walked Into the room and found FiFi completely overstimulated and ready lose it. The bottom lip was quivering and her teacher was sitting next to her. Together they were having a hard time figuring out what was wrong. So I asked her to tell me in a sentence. She mustered up her strength and said, I want Nanna! No! Dad! I want DaaaaaaaaD! Okay got it! My wet eyes met her teachers wet eyes and we decided it had been a long day. We all cried at how amazing FiFi is. She can tell us now! I am comfortable now. I am at ease. I know that her teacher knows her now, believes in her and has felt the same feeling we receive every day. Here is the best news about this. If you want to feel this too, open your heart and listen to another human. Hear what they say...even if they cannot talk clearly. Live just a moment in their world. It can change yours forever! It was another good day. And Monday will be too. Bob just asked what she did at school today. She yelled back at him, friends! Yep.....she made friends and so did I.
