Internet and tv brings the risk of laziness, obesity and dont get me started on the media but there are also many blessings. Like the ability for Moms of special needs children to find support from other Moms in simular situations. I am so happy that you have that. I love your blog and the blogs of others who have struggled. I am thankful to be reminded not to take any luxery forgranted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531603936028461696.post-76827679359654584012009-05-02T20:06:00.000-06:002009-05-02T20:06:00.000-06:00Awww...Alicia!

What a very touching post, and I am honored to be your friend. :)<br /><br />The older I get the more I realize how much we need each other. I too, spent the year after Faith's birth very isolated. It wasn't until last spring, when I also stretched out of my cacoon and began to become connected. <br /><br />What a privledge it has been to share a connection with you and your beauitful family. Your positive attitudes are inspiring, and hanging out w/you and the girls is always a blast. <br /><br />Thank you for reminding me of how much we all need each other- now more than ever....<br /><br />Ok am I starting to sound like a Hallmark card or what?<br /><br />Lot's of love,<br />Jen & CO.<br /><br />PS: I am also glad you started blogging...your words have reached many and inspire us all.<br /><br />PSS: Not to mention being "Commenter of the Year" ;) You could show me a thing or too about that!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11365243938160028822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531603936028461696.post-34956280662556328722009-05-02T17:12:00.000-06:002009-05-02T17:12:00.000-06:00I just started following your blog and I so apprec...I just started following your blog and I so appreciate your entry! Our special boy has a trach too which has slowly become our "new normal." I also was feeling isolated and then I started joining a trach group online and blogging and meeting other mom's who have special kiddos in my town. We're slowly taking our boy out into the world now that respiratory season is over, something I'm sure you can appreciate.(:Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538192615781547765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531603936028461696.post-3193010895728760422009-05-02T14:59:00.000-06:002009-05-02T14:59:00.000-06:00We agree, wonderfully written, tho....we do have o...We agree, wonderfully written, tho....we do have one comment that has not been expresses. When you are going to write a post like this one, PLEASE start out by saying "go get a box of tissues". You mentioned that for the other blog, but there are also tears of joy and pride shed when reading your accounts. (more often than not)I guess that means we should be smart enough to get the tissues before we see any of your blogs. We are happy that you have found a network of support that gives you strength. More importantly, we are extremely thankful that you have found an effective and powerful outlet for your ministry. For that is truly what you are doing. G-d bless you. You were never meant to be a lawyer, this is much more helpful to the world. We think everyone, not just special kids mamma's should read your blog.<br />Love, as always, Dad and ArnieThe round-the-worldershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345104229899105690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531603936028461696.post-13300411173036870052009-05-02T13:01:00.000-06:002009-05-02T13:01:00.000-06:00Beautifully written!

I also am so glad that you found "...Hey Alicia,<br />I also am so glad that you found "new friends" through the blog. I know all too well how much of a people person you are...that part is very much like me and your dad. I quietly was concerned that you were becoming too introverted, not by conscious choice, but just by situation. I know the struggles you all have had through all of this, and I am SO grateful that you have built a network of New Friends, especially all of your "trach Moms" and your once a month socializing. Each one of you needs that! That is such a gift to each one of you. Thank God for your friends and family! Keep on expanding your circle of friends. They will continue to bless you and you will have the chance to bless them as well on their unusual journies. Love you all.<br />Love,<br />Nana & PaPaNana and PaPahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075746377525238084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531603936028461696.post-70995509032385060072009-05-02T07:41:00.000-06:002009-05-02T07:41:00.000-06:00Great post!

We are carefully getting out more and I hope it will become easier and easier. Anyway, I know exactly the feelings you are talking about.<br /><br />JennaJohn and Jenna Gensichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404726548055060185noreply@blogger.com
