You want answers, some kind of validation for your intuition, but are also terrified of knowing you're right. <br /><br />Now you are on the other side, dealing with the Samantha's needs, and learning more every day. <br /><br />It does get easier in time. Still challenging and scary, but you can deal with whatever giant turd the elephant may dump in your living room. Much better than fear and denial.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving.Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911608453762091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683700514997462882.post-32944626277040758272009-11-28T09:34:40.860-07:002009-11-28T09:34:40.860-07:00I remember that Thanksgiving time- holding Samanth...I remember that Thanksgiving time- holding Samantha in our family room while everyone else was in the dining room - trying to figure out if she was "ok".
