You are entering the laignappe years.
A Cajun word for a little more.
Years of calls, a few visits and longing for those hectic “Mom, where are my tennis shoes?” years.
But I have news. Don’t get too comfortable. Savor the days of renewed oneness with your husband. But it won’t be for long. Another time is coming and it will come sooner than you think, but not as soon as you might hope.
Grandparenting Days. The sweetest gift God has saved for you. A tiny little baby, kisses behind tiny ears. And so soon, “Grandma, I love you so much.” New gifts of learning to share. Colors renewed in the mind’s eye-red, blue, yellow and diamonds and blue skies. Oh, what a sweet treat God has coming your way.
Blessed indeed, are we among women.

Our dear friends lost their four year old little princess in the blink of an eye just a few months ago. The pain is unimaginable, as you say…they did read your post and really loved it. There are not many words to express such tragic grief…but i think your heart speaks through your words…you have a special gift.

I too have been in your place at (many) IEP meetings. I was always amazed that teachers thanked us for helping our son succeed. After all, is that not our job? Well, he is living away from from home, in his fourth year of college, and succeeding still. All because someone believed in him and in turn he believed in himself.

Oh my. I’m at once speechless, and compelled to write you a long long note..
I have five children, 13 thru 23. The oldest just had a brush with the unimaginable and I shared a bit on my blog just today in fact. It is nothing we can be prepared for . at all.

And Lisa sounds like someone I’d like to be when I grow up.

Dear Katrina,
Your stories about your son Henry and his experiences at a Waldorf school have made a big impression on me.

I just posted a piece on my own blog where I quote your story (and credited your blog) about your friend Lisa seeing Henry’s strengths and use that as an example of issues weighing heavily on me.

Here’s the link to “How, When, and Should We Intervene?”:

As usual, your words mean so much to me. I often send them on to our daughter, my sisters, and friends, so that they can share my blessings, from your words. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your heart. Thank you for letting us remember to savor life’s ” little moments”. I have been playing your play list at my son-in-laws birthday party, in the kitchen as my 4 year old grand daughter dries the dishes. Today it will be played as I dye a rug. What a gift we are all given…TODAY! Thank You!

After reading your beautiful post I believe that God brought you two together. Thank you.
