“It was a difficult pregnancy. I was in so much pain all the time
and the doctors couldn’t
tell me why. I thought it would get easier when he was born, but it got even
more difficult. I knew even in the hospital that he was different because every
moment that I wasn’t
holding him, he would scream. He can barely sit still. He won’t sit still even to eat. I have to watch so closely at all
times, especially when he’s
around other children, because he can be a little too much for them. Other
parents have been saying to me for so long that he’ll grow out of it. I’m
convinced now that every child is different and that what applies to their
children might not apply to mine. But we just keep praying and hoping he’ll grow out of it.”
“What’s
been your happiest moment as a parent?”
“The first time he told me he loved me. He just kept touching my
face over and over again, saying: ‘Love
you. Love you. Love you.’”
