When I'm at a get together and I'm asked, "What's going on?" I love, love to say "nothing," because to me that means there's no drama in my life. Nothing that is draining me and demanding my attention other doing what I really enjoy and want to give my full attention to. This time last year there was drama in my personal life; I never blogged about it. And only to my close small circle would I talk about it.
The drama and angst centered around one of my children. Most can relate to that pain and uncertainty. It did not involve Thomas, for once he was the quiet stable one. I am an open book when it comes to our life with Thomas. I don't know if that is unfair to him or not. The majority of what I do write and talk about is the manner in which I was treated as Thomas' mother. So many of our experiences with raising him never should have occurred, and to be perfectly honest I have some degree of PTSD as a result of how I was treated by the multiple physicians and specialists I took him to in our quest for answers. My experience with Thomas was so atypical, I needed to express what happened in the hope that no one should walk in those footsteps again.
I'm always amazed at what a difference a year makes. This time last year, life was full of uncertainty. Today circumstances are in a positive direction and there are many days that life is kind of quiet or simply mundane. And that is totally fine.
I'm off from work this week as NYC public schools observe Passover. I don't have many plans other than catching up with appointments. One physician I see is in Manhattan and it's easier to get there in the morning rather than after work. So samantha and I will have a big city adventure!
Happy Passover to those that celebrate and thank you to everyone who reads my posts ❤️
