I’ve wanted to blog about Nathan for several months now but for many reasons I haven’t been able to. I wondered if my other kids would resent it at some point if I dedicated a blog just to Nathan and his disability. Part of me also wondered if the women whose blogs about their children with disabilities, and whose life and words I’ve come to rely on, if they read my blog, might scoff because my thoughts, worries, and experiences seem so trite compared to the mountains they climb everyday. Still, I ache to talk. Although it has been five months since Nathan’s diagnosis, I’m admitting I’m still raw inside. I need to clear my brain and hopefully find acceptance and peace with Nate’s condition. So from now on the Tanner Times Op-ed may be grittier and more uncomfortable. Hope you stay tuned.

I'm glad you're going to talk about it. I've often wondered how you're doing and what your thoughts are on the matter and I am so curious about Nate (especially since I've never met him). I'll look forward to your thoughts and learning more about your sweet boy and his journey.
to some extent it will always be raw. acceptance gets easier. be prepared for the roller coaster. i look forward to hearing about your adventure.
Thanks Wendy. You know.
