I could and did do pretty much all I wanted, when I wanted.&nbsp; I had no idea that loving a little person this much would change my world and would make me love it even in the most challenging of days.&nbsp; And there are a few!&nbsp; <br /><br />I&#39;ve had to learn new ways of being, and have to recalculate and adjust every move.&nbsp; How will this affect her in the future?&nbsp; How much comfort do I give when she needs to be pushed past her comfortable boundaries?&nbsp; The questions I ask my self at the end of the day are always about her. How can I give her the best of me and still get better?&nbsp; How can I make her experiences fun and yet still teach her what she needs to learn?&nbsp; How do I help a child grow who wants to fight it and fears moving ahead?&nbsp; <br /></p> Sat, 14 Jun 2008 07:01:21 -0000 http://BelovedCommunity.gaia.com/blog/2008/6/hi_everyone
