A tough afternoon

Hi All The day started off so well! We went to a special needs support group this morning!  I had been put in touch with a mum in cardiff who's son has no diagnosis and we were meeting at this group!  We had a lovely chat and I also chatted to the lady who runs the group! It was great to speak to people in the same situations as us!  But I got home and have felt really down all afternoon! I think the reality of caring for a child with special needs and the lack of support we, as parents get, has really hit home after hearing other parents struggles!  And all this afternoon I can't see my son, Jonah, the lovely boy, who makes us smile and is so happy! All I can see is this profoundly disabled little boy for who I am having to constantly battle for to get his needs met! A little boy who isn't going to grow up and get married or live independent of us!! I just feel so sad tonight and just wish that my life was normal!  Hayleyxx

What a brilliant weekend!!

Well, we have had visitors all weekend from Scotland! Ben's sister, husband and son, Samuel came to stay!!

We have had such a busy weekend but managed to also meet up with Ben's brother, wife and 2 children! It was a chance for 5 cousins to meet and play which was brilliant!!!

Jonah thoroughly enjoyed himself watching all his cousins playing!!

Our house has sold!!!

Well, after 7 weeks on the market and 2 viewings we have sold our house! We are in a complete state of shock!!

We are hoping to secure a property that we have had our eye on for a few months which will be brilliant for Jonah!! It has lots of space and potential for extension!!

We have really seen God's hand in everything and are so thankful to him!
