June Blog Challenge Day 6: WARRIOR
I know this mom, and she is pretty incredible. She's been through a lot in her life, yet, she still wakes up every morning and manages to take on whatever the day brings - sometimes she does it in style, sometimes just gets it done. Her determination, dedication, compassion, honesty, kindness, her attitude toward life... well, pretty much everything about her is inspiring to me, and I'm very lucky to call her a friend.
She's one of those Warrior Moms. She's engaged in what will now be a battle for the rest of her life to advocate for her adorable, beautiful, smart, and oh-so sweet little girl. Her little girl, fondly known as LB, has autism. And this warrior mom is working non-stop to help her daughter reach her full potential, and leave her mark in the world. Actually, LB already has left her mark... in the hearts of everyone she meets.
Check out her blog if you'd like - the tagline "A sassy mother warrior from Los Angeles raising a very sweet little girl with Autism in the Midwest" says it all!
Prompt: What do you envision when you see this word? Do you embody it? Does someone you know? Do you like the term warrior? Hate it? Go!
Wow, thank you for posting and sharing this. I also have a son with autism, and work as an autism specialist. I will definitely go and check out her website!
ReplyDeleteIt's always an honor to meet another warrior-mom Angela. I am always in awe of my friend - her daughter is a lucky little girl, as is your son!
Deletethis mom sounds like such a great woman :) my cousin has a child with autism and i sent her the link to that blog.
ReplyDeleteI think what I enjoy most about her blog is her candid way of writing. She doesn't gloss over anything, yet, she makes it all sound so routine!
DeleteParents of children with autism are often unsung heroes. I have come to know a fellow patient in my partial program who has a son with autism and also works with children at her school. It's truly beautiful the love and compassion that pours out from them :)
ReplyDeleteI completely agree - unsung heroes doesn't begin to cut it sometimes.
