I have always believed that there is a reason for everything. I believe that when we do go for others it comes back to us 10 times greater. Carma is my belief system.

On Tuesday night I looked into the eyes of a very smart woman who I was VERY VERY wrong about. My judgement of her as a person, educator, and advocate for children was wrong. 100% wrong. I took a swift non-committed meeting with me to mean that our family was of no importance to her. I could not have been more wrong. I was never corrected, I was simply shown her true face.

Time is the teller of all. Time brings a path to view all the good, courage, and love that we all have for one another. Sometimes our paths split but somehow we all remain on the same path…crossing here and there. Our path has brought us to Calgary and every day I am becoming more thankful. I can not verbalize the centeredness that we are striving and accomplishing. Our lives needed peace after the rejection of our families and then the rejection of our community catholic school. We simply could not deal with the rejection any more. Sometimes I feel we ran away but, now, I stand strongly and believe that we are here for a reason. We are here to heal….and the healing is beginning.

We met with a team of people at Andrew’s school this morning. They all came in an hour early today to help us figure out a path for Andrew. He needs a path that is full of light, self worth, and love. I am touched by the intelligence in one single room. The meeting was not mandated by any official policy, the meeting was called because the principal was truly concerned that our child did not love school with every inch of his being. She looked deep in our eyes and saw us struggling to mold and caress his soul into a calm body of water….and his heart is full of turmoil, sadness, and struggle. She saw it through us and that is why I know I was wrong to judge her trueness so prematurly.

I have no doubt. Not even one ounce of doubt that something good will come of our lives here in Calgary. I know in my heart that the pain we feel will subside for strength and growth.

The is a team being formed of specialists called a Student Resource Group. I have never met any of them but what they do best if figure out what Andrew needs in order to optimize his learning and help us as parents optimize his life at home. Technology is going to be used to help him with some hurdles in order to make his world more focused on the goal rather than the motor skills needed to accomplish them. The meeting lasted an hour. 1 hour. We both feel a sense of relief, peace, and honestly feel that everything will be ok…..one day….and that feeling just for a few minutes is the best part of today. I know it will subside and be replaced with worry eventually….but, for now…..it feels like everything has happened for a reason……PEACE.
