Emphasis on parenting for children with special needs came from another direction today. This author received a comment on my blog post, "Special Needs Children/Music" from a young lady who wrote: "Family love, to me, is the most valuable thing you have in your life. If you didn't have your family, you wouldn't go anywhere. When you were down, they were there for you. When you needed something they tried to make that happen. When you think you don't have a family, you do. All you need to do is just give them a little call and they will be there for you. I got kicked out of the house when I was 18 and I had nowhere to go. I was around a wrong crowd and got into drugs. My addiction to meth was so bad, I nearly died. I realized that my life wasn't going anywhere and I needed help. The first people I called and the only people I called was my mom and dad. They were very happy to help me and got me into a drug rehab program. I am currently on the program and I can already tell that things are getting back to normal. I'm getting my life back, and most important I'm getting my family back." What a turn-around this young woman has made! She is thankful for her family's support and encouragement. May she Keep on Keepin' On, as she becomes all that God has created her to be!!
