Before I share this link to a song I sing just about every day, I had to celebrate a great encounter Thursday afternoon while out to lunch.
Jason and I took Jack (and Katie) to the nutritionist this morning to discuss Jack's new diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitus along with the formula switch and depletion of milk from Jack's diet. He is most likely allergic to milk. There is a chance that this allergy won't show up on a blood test! So all the formula changes at birth were valid/lots of vomiting from milk allergy. Last years formula before recent switch =allergic hence EoE..
:'(
Back to the encounter: an older lady came up to me and gently touched my shoulder. She said, "you have beautiful children. Special children. You are a special mom for a special child." I was caught off guard. I didn't know what to say besides, "Thank you.They are both special to me." She then informed me that she grew up with a special needs sister and that she understood completely. That made my day and made up for the rude customers while out to dinner a month ago.
Here's the beautiful song.

After reading this post, I immediately thought of the old Alabama song, Angels Among Us. So glad that someone took the time to give you those encouraging words!
