"Don't you wish she could live a normal life?" I can't tell you how many times I've heard this question over the years. Special needs children AREN'T broken. They're not. They're not people that the medical system couldn't "fix" to fit the status quo of normalcy. If you learn anything from Athena's journey I hope it's that it's okay to be "different. I don't spend my time fixated on how to make Athena "normal" I spend it on trying to make her life worthwhile. 💕💕 Special needs momma, autism, awareness, kidney disease, mother daughter, special needs parenting, love, family, family blogger, family over everything, mommy daughter goals. #specialneedsmom #specialneedskids #specialneedsparenting #autismawareness #kidneytransplantrecipient #kidneyfailure #disability #cerebralpalsy #ourstory #storytime #familyblogger #familyfirst #mommyandmeoutfit #mommyandmeclothing #mommydaughter #daughter #mylittlegirl #redhair #parentinglife #momlife #trendingaudio #trending #inspirationalreels #motivationalreels
