new outlook

A friend sent this quote to me after what happened yesterday.  I settled down and found it in me to forgive that lady.  As stated, each situation is unique and each mother has different challenges.  My challenges are not what she has to face.  She does not understand what my child's medical needs are and yes she judged us wrongly on it.  I should not have allowed my anger to kick in like it had.  I guess when it comes to my children, I do turn into mama bear.  It hurts me that she wont allow her children to play with my girls, but its her choice.  I am dealing with my girls being upset but we will find a way around this. 

What does bother me is people out there that believe their children will "Catch" this kind of stuff.  It bothers me that people do believe this thought.  Evies best friend back home has Down Syndrome.  It never bothered me once or the other mom.  In fact it was a great support for us... especially for me.  It kills me though to see my daughter want to play with friends, and the parents not allowing it.  She doesn't understand why they cant, and really I don't know how to tell her.  I don't know if I should.  Here is where I am stuck.  But seeing her longing for playmates (that are not mommy or sister), it hurts me.

The person that had originally suggested this lady, still does not know what was said.  Right now I don't want to tell him.  One I don't want to drag him in the middle, and two, I want this behind me.  However, July 3rd they do fireworks and he invited the girls and I to go.  I am HOPING that I am off that night so I can find an excuse.  I know that sounds bad but I don't want to go.  For Evie seeing that little girl and wanting to play with her (since they live right across the street from my friend) would  be too hard.  So I am waiting to see if I have to work either job.  I do hope I have my evening job at least, that way the girls and I can stay home and relax.. who knows.  I just don't want to go.  I don't know if seeing her would make me angry again and I really do not want to deal with that.  I am trying to get passed that and love my daughters.
