I think people should say "as long as it's happy" Don't we all just want our children to feel loved and happy?

HK is a very blessed child to have you and jarod as her parents. and you two are equally as blessed to have such a child in your lives. as an aunt to a child of special needs (my 3 yr old niece has rett syndrome), i can relate to a lot of what your post is about. not so much through my eyes, but through the eyes of my sister. i get all of it to a certain degree, but i can only imagine what it is like for you-through the eyes of the parent. suki, my niece, brings so much joy to our lives even though she too is non-verbal and i know if people stopped and looked at the bigger picture they would see that as well. its amazing how much their eyes can say. i'm so proud of you for speaking your mind-you deserve to. if not for yourself, for HK. I've enjoyed watching her grow through the blog and hearing her milestones she achieves! its always the littlest things in life that seem to bring the biggest joys :) keep your head high and your spirits higher!<br /><br />Juliet Shunnarah LangJuliet Langhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376874037058811532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859268788146859344.post-16279756507035127162012-09-13T10:47:09.773-04:002012-09-13T10:47:09.773-04:00Good job!

And how lucky is Whit(and Charlie)to be able to grow up with a cousin like HK to make him be a better man for learning to not see differences and love her exactly the way she is! I could not and would not ask for anything different so thank you to HK for being a teacher for her cousins!Carriehttp://www.aroundtheandersons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859268788146859344.post-33634468726263540152012-09-13T09:36:02.210-04:002012-09-13T09:36:02.210-04:00Courtney, thank you for sharing!

I have said that myself a lot during this pregnancy (since having two miscarriages this past year), and mainly referring to the fact that we don't care if it is a boy or girl. But, I am so glad you shared that because I would never want to hurt one of my friends who have a special needs child. Thank you!<br /><br />I hope that each day is filled with more joy and more accomplishments for Harper Kate so that some of the hardships get easier. God Bless! <br /><br />Ashley Gaymon The Gaymonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805913094086234883noreply@blogger.com
