Friends

 Hi friend.

Would you please pray for K as he goes for his assessment?

You're invited to I's birthday party!

How is F's exam preparation?

At one low point a couple of years ago, I told God, "Please send me some special needs mom friends. Nobody understands what I'm going through." In that month, He sent me four.

We used to pass each other in church without even a "hi". Now we greet each other with the same weary smile, and we know without a word how each other's week has been. It's like a free pass for our kids to be friends too, without exclusion or judgment. And the mom friends have kept coming.

At gymnastics class, my daughter and another boy were the only two kids making houses with foam blocks and doing dances while the rest fell in line quietly. His mum and I looked at each other and laughed, just knowing.

We don't sit in a circle and unleash our week's sorrows. We don't have time for that. But even in the being known, there is healing.
