Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Hi I had a similar thing with my son. He was saying his prayers which he always insists on. Sometimes I hear a word I can pick up on but same thing he was sad and said " dod el e tal " (God help me talk) it does break your heart that you know they know they aren't the same and yet with all the information on dyspraxia we should realise that they know lots and are processing the information in their heads just not saying it. Wouldn't you love to get inside their heads so you know what is going on? I had tears in my eyes for you when I read your story. Take care Michele- -- In @y..., smithwj@a... wrote: > Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Thanks for posting 's story. How heartbreaking when our kids first realize that they are different, but how heartwarming that they are smart enough to know. Hopefully they will all grow up to be sensitive and empathetic to others. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 This was sent to me by a good friend. enjoy it too! **************************************************** A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said " I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat. " " Is the man of the house home? " , they asked. " No " , she replied. " He's out. " " Then we cannot come in " , they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. " Go tell them I am home and invite them in! " The woman went out and invited the men in. " We do not go into a House together, " they replied. " Why is that? " she asked. One of the old men explained: " His name is Wealth, " he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, " He is Success, and I am Love. " Then he added, " Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home. " The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. " How nice!! " , he said. " Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth! " His wife disagreed. " My dear, why don't we invite Success? " Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: " Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love! " " Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice, " said the husband to his wife. " Go out and invite Love to be our guest. " The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, " Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest. " Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: " I only invited Love, Why are you coming in? " The old men replied together: " If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!! " MY WISH FOR YOU... -Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy. -Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it. -Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength. -Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.
