I have several posts planned, but right now no time to write them...
Meanwhile, I wish a few more of my regular readers would try to "interpert" my ceramic piece, trying to be as specific as you can. Hint: Regular readers of the blog are more likely to guess correctly.
I think maybe they have to do with stages of awareness when you deal with a special needs child. The first: trying to protect and include with all the other children. Then, sadness and prayer as you realize that you can't really deny the child's difference. Then, seeing even growth (up) as wilting relative the the other children. And lastly, seeing the child's growth in it's own terms without comparing.
