But I do need to say how proud I am of Parker and his Mom. They battle thru so much on a daily basis. I want to echo all that's been said to this point and add my own public cheer for the two of them. They are amazing and so are all of you for the kind words and deeds you show to Liz, Parker and the rest of our family. Thank you!!!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874777739659758000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-75935549750828777202009-03-09T08:42:00.000-07:002009-03-09T08:42:00.000-07:00Liz, I think you guys are amazing.

With you, my sister-in-law, a close friend in my ward, and a sister I visit teach all sharing the same struggles of dealing with a child on the autism spectrum, I am just constantly amazed with the love, patience and strength you all have.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922991528393983598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-12645958436017364622009-03-07T16:26:00.000-08:002009-03-07T16:26:00.000-08:00Liz, you brought me to tears. you are an amazing ...Liz, you brought me to tears. you are an amazing mom. I feel for you that you have encountered people who would hurt you. Parker is a sweet little guy and during those down times I'm sure it must be the hardest thing in the world. But what an amazing trade off to have a child who is so in tune with the spirit and can see the many things that the scriptures hold. I'm sending you a hug until I see you again. Hang in there, I lvoe you!Marrdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698407282295374059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-53415569253925282262009-03-05T16:33:00.000-08:002009-03-05T16:33:00.000-08:00I so love you Liz!

It's hard sometimes to continually fight this neverending uphill battle where you feel very few are on your side. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to wear a T-Shirt that explained his behavior so that you wouldn't have to....sometimes it would be nice if you just didn't need to explain anything and you could just curl up next to him and love him for EVERYTHING that he is....though we are not on the same boat on this journey I feel like our paths are paralell. I don't know how it feels to have a son with Aspbergers, but I do know how it feels to be a Mother Warrior and every emotion that goes along with it. You are Brave, you are Powerful, most of the time exhausted.....but you can do it!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938695811027074075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-18602175897347153622009-03-05T07:24:00.000-08:002009-03-05T07:24:00.000-08:00You have me in tears.

He is a DARLING little boy and it must be so heartbreaking to see him struggle. Please Please Please bring Emi and Quinn over to my house when Parker goes to therapy. I don't go anywhere anymore and we would love to have them. Emi came up to me at school yesterday and said hi. It was the cutest thing ever.brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114483651100368830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-25931952420358117102009-03-04T21:58:00.000-08:002009-03-04T21:58:00.000-08:00Sweet Liz.

All you can do is the best you can, and some days if it feels like your best is less than on others, that's okay! Please know that you can call me anytime that your other kids just don't want to go to the appointments and I can take them, or if you ever just need an extra ear to listen or shoulder to cry on... You don't have to do it alone.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387780612882909229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003421843194196387.post-64087949991890192832009-03-04T19:43:00.000-08:002009-03-04T19:43:00.000-08:00I'm crying too.

I'm sure it is hard a lot of days, but your courage and attitude are so inspiring. My nephew (8yrs. old) also has Asbergers, and I have listened to, and cried with, my sister-in-law many times. Such a bitter-sweet with her son also . . . so bright and kind, but painfully awkward sometimes and misunderstood. You probably have a great support group, but if you would ever like to talk to her, let me know. I'm sure that she too, would appreciate talking to someone who TRULY understands. I think you are amazing Liz. The perfect Mom for such a special little boy.kjirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073901278084476715noreply@blogger.com
