Through My Daughters Eyes

I was asked this week " Why would you write a blog about Kos?". To clarify my intentions... I have been a mother since I was 18. I have given my whole adult life to raising my children. My greatest joy in life is to watch my children experience life. Good, bad and the ugly! Kerry being my only daughter and my oldest has had to be my "trial and error" child. Im sorry Kerry...I had to learn to parent on one of you!!!! Haha. I call her my GOLDEN child. She is grounded and knows what she wants. She will rarely misbehave. Glided through teenage years with a smile! Was voted MOST FUNNIEST in high school!! I really could not have asked for a better child ( she does have a mouth on her though..will speak her mind to me).
So to make a long story shorter... This blog is about me being so blessed to watch my daughter experience an amazing love. A love that is unique. We love Kos and are blessed that he came into Kerry's life...and our lives too. His smile and big blue eyes light up our home. I love when Kerry comes home and sits on her bed and tells me how she feels. She asked my advise and either takes it or leaves it. For me, I feel like I am outside looking through the window at my daughters experience. It is a wonderful experience...that I WANT to share. Kos is a special person. He has over come so much. He deserves this love and so does she. I love that she looks past his disability and sees the person inside. I look forward to the future and hope for the best...for both of them.

I know sometimes people may not understand...Thinking this is silly or just why? I went through that same thing when I first started to blog about my passion, which is decorating...People would look at me like... why are you wasting your time?...The fact is I wasn't wasting my time...I was sharing something that I was very passionate about...You are an awesome mother,sister and friend and I love the fact that you take the time to journel these memories...So,often we forget so many things...You should print each post and make a book for Kerry and even Kos...Like the book you made me of pictures of our mother...that made me cry a million tears! I love you,Big Bird!

I think it is wonderful that you can see how amazing and special both of these young people are and that you would take the time to share it with all of us. In a world filled with sadness and madness, it is so heart-warming to hear such a special, loving, wonderful, and uplifting story. Someday your daughter (and Kos) will look back on these posts and be most thankful that you documented their story and a whole world of people that may never have known them without you, will be blessed because of all of you.
