Believe it or not, I understand. I was like that 23 years ago. Twenty-two years ago I didn't think God knew what He was doing when he gave me a special needs child. But He knew that I needed my son more than he needed me. People ask all the time "How do you do it?" You just do. He's my kid. I'm Dad.

I feel horror, joy, guilt, shame, happiness, and fear all at once when I spot someone like my boy, all grown up. I am not usually brave enough to dissect my feelings and search for the source of them. It's nice to know, though, that they are normal feelings in moms like me. As Erik grows older and people notice my son is different, I care less. That is sweet relief. I'll be honest -- At the beginning, I wasn't sure I could bear it. -- Nancy (Erik's Mom) Oh, Heidi, I know those feelings that all come at the same time in a situation like that.
