I was sitting on a bench watching Bryce play on the playground when a woman approached me and said, “You’re doing a great job!”

She mentioned she had a child with special needs too and also was approached by a woman who told her she was doing a great job as well, and wanted to ‘pay it forward’ as most of us parents to special needs kids could always use that little reassurance every now and then.

It honestly made my day.

I thought it was really nice of her to come up to me to tell me that. It was like a belated Mothers Day gift. It honestly made me feel like I’m doing something right at least for a complete stranger to take notice.

So to all you moms or dads out there, caring for a child with special needs, I just wanted to let you know, you’re doing a great job!
