At last!!!

Last night was our dinner date with a family that understands what life is like for us.  They, too, have a daughter with some challenges and she sees the same physical and speech therapists as Cale.  They know all about the Child Development Center programs we are enrolled in and everything!  At last, we have finally found a family that completely understands!!!  

We had them over to our house and I must admit, I was a bit nervous to have people come into our home that we have never met.  At first I was just excited to meet them but as the time drew nearer I started to get butterflies in my stomach.  I for some silly reason thought we might not have enough to talk about.  Turns out we had a lot to talk about!  It was just so encouraging to see a family going through the very same things we are going through.  Neurologists, therapists, fears - we seemed to share very similar emotions in regards to our kids.  Ah, what a relief to meet such a nice couple who love their child!

They left last night agreeing we should meet again.  I really hope this relationship develops into something more than just two families who share similar struggles.
