I am grateful for my friend Monica. Monica is a friend I met in a Bible study for special needs parents, when both of our oldest kids were in early elementary school. It's always so nice to form a friendship with someone else who understands the special needs life, knowing what it's like to attend all the appointments, research supplements and therapies and treatments, and try to figure out the right educational situation. Who deals every day with sleep, eating, and behavior concerns. Who understands if you're late or if you have to cancel last minute or if you arrive to a get together in a state of falling apart. That alone is enough to make me really value this friendship. But on top of that, Monica is also really funny and caring and smart, and has interesting opinions and ideas about all sorts of things - she's fun to talk to. We share the same faith. She's always up for adventures. And she's not afraid to be honest and vulnerable. I'm so grateful for this friendship.
