This post captures so well so many of the mixed feelings I have all the time that I just can’t explain to anyone, even my husband. Thanks. I don’t feel happier, but it is comforting to know that I’m not the only one who experiences this.

Insightful and beautiful along with really great comments. One of the main topics seems to be creating a contrived scenario and being hurt to watch it play out knowing what it is and isn’t. One cannot deny the good feelings it creates – and that is most important. Joseph Goldstein: “The wonderful paradox about the truth of suffering is that the more we open to it and understand it, the lighter and freer our mind becomes. Our mind becomes more spacious, more open, and happier as we move past our avoidance and denial to see what is true. We become less driven by compulsive desires and addictions, because we see clearly the nature of things as they are.” This piece helps to see this situation and others like it. You have put into words the good and less good and how when they are created in the future what it will mean as the meaning fluctuates back and forth. Thank you again Amy.

What about best buddies? They have a big dance in December usually at one of the big hotels in downtown Phoenix for kids from all over the valley, typical and special needs. I know exactly what you mean by lots of hi-fives and not a single friend. we parents are caregivers, “friends”/entertainment and parents. We wear all the hats.

Soooooo it was great to be a witness of this grand night out. sighhhhhhh we are in this grand convergence- wanting more but wanting it all to be terribly genuine. Wanting the date to be real not a volunteer who’s willing to be squeezed (exuberantly) for an evening. Still, all the while I’m grateful I had a reason to buy c a brand new coat and he finally had an occasion to wear that really dashing bow tie I bought two years ago. I cheer and wish for more in the same breath.
Still and all I must admit I DID truly love every moment of that courageous karaoke !!
