The stares from other shoppers, the judgment, the yelling, the crying, it is all so much to handle, and it is only a portion of what must be done each day as a special needs mom. Thank you for sharing this story so openly and honestly, and know you are not alone!Katie @ Wonderfully Madehttp://www.wonderfully-made.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615165926510921900.post-70086978919380274152014-08-23T08:38:46.276-04:002014-08-23T08:38:46.276-04:00Thank you, Nora!
