dotcomkari Prep Cook I know my way around the kitchen Registered: February 2012 Posts: 60	Journaling Reads: I’m sorry that it took me so long to understand that your brain works differently. I’m sorry I didn’t get it. I’m sorry I grew frustrated with you so much and had a short fuse when you were only acting out what your physical body needed to stop from hurting or feeling uncomfortable at that given moment. I’m sorry you spent your formative years believing you were not good enough, or stupid, as you so often would tell me that you were. I’m sorry I did not realize just how amazing your gifts are, and how sweet and loving your spirit is. I’m sorry I did not provide the right resources for you sooner, though I know you chose me as your mom for a reason and we are walking this journey together. I love you exactly as you are, today, in this moment. You are not broken. You do not need to be fixed or forgiven. You are all a mother could ask for. I will love you no matter where this journey takes us. All you have to do is keep being you and keep your heart open.

This is just amazing journaling. I get the feeling that the "So Strong" title refers to both you AND him. I love the orange and yellow tones in the photo that match the papers so well, and I love how it's arranged along those border strips. Just a beautiful layout! I'm nominating it for Baker's Best this week.
