The Labor of Love of a Special Needs Mom is no joke.
They work every day, all day, all night and don't sleep much. Their job description is endless, their work is never done.
Special Needs Moms do everything for their kids. They feel every challenge as if it their own hurdle. They work hard and celebrate every success as if it was their own, because it is, they work for it too. They don't give up, even if everyone else has.
They cry tears of joy and tears of sorrow, sometimes at the same time. Tears of joy can come easily, with an unexpected breakthough, a long-awaited accomplishment or just a tiny move in the right direction.
Tears of sorrow can come even easier. Watching your child struggle is something Special Needs Moms deal with and know well. It's gut wrenching.
They wear many hats. They are advocates, therapy givers, boo boo kissers, ticklers, game players, teachers, sisters, daughters, wives, some play the role of 2 parents, cleaners, laundry doers, lunch makers, bathers, taxi drivers, interpreters, translaters, cooks and a million more.
They give hugs that can fix anything. The safest place on the planet is in their arms.
Special Needs Moms didn't plan on living this life but have moved forward full speed ahead. They learned to speak a new language in a new world so they can help their kiddo.
Special Needs Moms are never off duty.
Their love is unconditional.
They are truly the unsung heroes.
