The pride of a mother

I guess that being proud of your child is a sensation that unites us mothers in this world. I havent met a mother that did not eventually say something about how she loves her child and how special that child is. I love that. I think that the words of a mother does good even if the child isnt there while she says them. Maybe Im just immensly positive?

One of my kids is autistic and she has been forced to struggle for those things that kids in general usually doesnt have to fight for. The first weeks of her life she had to fight to survive since she couldnt breathe on her own and because she was born ten weeks before she should have been born.The day to day things like eating properly, hygien, communicating with others around you, being understood and express yourself.. Theres a long list of things that havent been easy for Rebecka but everytime I lay my eyes on her I feel humbled before her and thank God for her life. Once at the hospital when she was really in trouble due to her lungs , I sat down on the floor of a hospital bathroom and said out loud, "God, if its your will let her live, if its not , well then take her home. But help me to go on whatever happens." I guess you do that when your pain is too immense to bear on your own? She made it and on Saturday she will be celebrated at my place because its her 13th birthday!

She is a fighter and being around her makes you feel grateful about the small things in life, like sitting in a sofa and listening to Laura Pausini while you try to sing in Italian and your daughter listens to you and smiles. I will end this little input in the Human Interest area by encouraging all parents to be proud of your children and also to never cease to lift them up with your words, prayers and thoughts. And by the way, the name Sara Rebecka means " A princess that comforts". I think that is the english meaning of the name? Yours Sincerely Deborah
