She saved my life
I was contemplating suicide one night. It was just one of those days that seemed to go on forever and everything that could go wrong did. I was in bed in tears with my special needs daughter laying next to me (a little background on her: she can not stand touching specially hugging or holding close). I was silently crying to myself like I tend to do often, I think she sensed something out of the norm and she turned and hugged me tight. I could hear her heart beating and just like that, the thought of suicide left my mind. She is my savior, a real life angel.
So moving. I'm glad you had that.
I feel for you generally. I assume and please forgive me if I have this wrong but I assume that there is an emotional drain looming after a special needs child. I wish you all the best.
