For me, it has been the stress and difficulties that have manifested in my marriage. Kelly (my wife) and I come from different perspective, this lead to how we respond to emotional situatations and go about finding solutions. What I've learned is that neither of us are right or wrong, but what we do with our emotions is crucial. We're learning how to provide eachother a safe environment to feel/express our emotions.
Posted - 1/19/2009 : 3:08:38 PMSomething less I've struggled with is givng/letting go of the hopes and dreams for what I believed to be a successful life for my son. I'm learning to fing joy in the simple success my son is making.
Even though Zach is over 20 years old and cognitively about 2 years old level, I still have moments of sorrow. These moments don’t come that often, I’ve been able to come to terms with most of the issues. But when they come upon me, it happens with a deep sorrowful heart ache that comes from the deepest part of a fathers love for his child. The only way I can describe it is imagine your child laying in a hospital bed, the doctors can’t give you a good prognosis and your child will never have a complete recovery.That anguishing feeling you just felt is what I’m trying to find peace, contentment and joy. To give me hope and courage for my whole families future. Through this process I'm learning to look at life and my meaning of it in a different ways.
