Is it fair?

It seems like everyone wants to talk about fair these days - is it fair ? does it seem fair? will that be fair? Well, I have to tell you I dont always feel like things are "fair". Is it fair that my son and I were put on this path of LD together? Is it fair that his disability should impact everyone else's life? No, its not fair. We deserve to be happy. I'm not asking for special treatment for him, I just want him to be treated fairly. Period. thats it. That would be fair. Some days I wonder, why me? And then I think I am a better person for being on this path. Joe has taught me so much. Oh there are days I become frustrated and angry, yes even angry. But I try to regroup and make some changes. I would not be the person I am today if it were not for my last born. He has taught me to look at people differently simply by being "special". His heart seems to be so delicate at times it makes me want to cry. And I do. I cry, sometimes out of frustration, sometimes out of anger and sometimes just to let it out. I dont know if we all were able to pick our paths if I would have chosen this one. But Im on this ride, good, bad or fair and Im going to make the best of it. Hopefully I will make some positive changes for kids like Joe in the future. And if along the way I am able to help a fellow parent, that would be "fair" too!!
