STRONGER

I hardly remember what kind of person I used to be.

I don't remember what I used to think about certain

things and my feelings and opinions. 

I don't remember what I used to feel strongly about.

I don't remember feeling completely devoted to any

one thing. 

I don't remember having such a strong love for someone 

that I knew the love alone would carry me through. 

I don't remember giving a disabled child a second glance.

All of that changed when I met my little Dulce.

It seems like my life before was without purpose.

It seems like I didn't begin living until she was born.

It changed my life completely. 

It changed the way I feel about life, dreams, wishes,

prayer, and blessings. 

I have more to say about everything I don't know if that's 

a good thing or bad, but I know I have been through so

much that there isn't something I feel I can't relate to. 

I have learned so much about being a mom, caregiver,

and most of all an advocate. 

What a huge blessing it has been to have my eyes 

opened about a child with disabilities and all that entails.

I now understand what perfect really means.

I feel like a completely different person, like I am 

finally fulfilling my purpose in life. 

I am so much stronger for having gone through

all the trials up unto this point.
I am very grateful for every moment happy or sad 

good or bad and for all the ups and downs. I know

it has brought me to this point and I couldn't be happier

to be STRONGER.
