I too, have watched as students with special needs tackle something in society with their peers that I wish their moms could see.

As their teacher, I want to run and hug them and yell, “YOU DID IT! YOU DID THAT!” but I don’t…because we don’t do that for other kids. I just give a high five or a fist bump here and there.

And hug them tight through my tears when they graduate.

And I am not even the mom.

I have a son who is autistic, and it is nice to realize that there are people “out there” that appreciate what it takes for him to navigate the world:).

I would have been cheering for him too. I hope many will be cheering for your daughter too.

I’ve never been as proud of anything I have done in life as I am of her and her accomplishments. I’m sure you feel the same about your daughter.

This post was beautiful. It’s so hard to let our children go out and face the world on their own. With a mom like you, there’s no doubt she will succede!

With a loving Mom like you she is destined to blossom in her own time but with a flourish. Keep on nurturing her with your love, holding her hand when needed and letting her go when needed.

I have no doubt in my mind that your daughter excels each time she is given an opportunity to show her independence.

I am so glad I stopped by to read this. My heart swelled as I read your words and I could feel the spirit of what you described. I kept thinking as I read “roots and wings, roots and wings.” As a mom thats what we give them, roots so they come back home and wings so they can fly. Tears welled up in my eyes at the triumph which might be insignificant to others, but spoke volumes to me. Your friend is lucky to have you in her life.
