Xbox definitely. It was awful to realise what she's been through and we all had a good cry at different times. Double squeezes are in store, and she gives the best squeezes. Thomas thank you. It is a brilliant poem and just said so much to us. Thanks for the comment and for sharing your poem. :D Iota that balance is so hard sometimes, but I hope I stop and think more before I judge now. I think we've all learned alongside her. AOJ, I have the best family. If anyone of us are in trouble the rest are there in a second. Nola, she is shining and smiling and learning. It's so good. :D Irene thanks, and that’s what we’re hoping for her too.

We should all stop being so judgmental of children's behaviour. We just don't know what is going on inside. (non-judgmental, but still able to discipline as appropriate - that's a tough line to walk). Really moving post, Jo. We should all stop being so judgmental of children’s behaviour.

I never get tired of it. At first it was just one of many hundreds of poems I had written. But over time, as I began to see people's reactions, it has come to mean much more to me.

Double squeezes for her for the next 10 years are in order I think. God I can’t even imagine what it must be like to realise what she had been going through.

I hope it helps her grow up to be a lovely little girl who will be well liked by all and who will have lots of friends. Growing up is tough enough without the extra challenges.

Adventuremother, she will be fine. She's hilarious and so cool. Kimberly, we;rs just so glad she's getting what she needs now. She's a really determind little girl. Bubblewnch thanks, and the poem is fab isn't it. It should be on the wall in schools or something. Thalia's child, it's been amazing seeing her progress, like the first tie she was inside and hear bird song she had to ask what it was. It was awful but wonderful too. Corey, hopefully there are many years ahead to catch up and blimey she'll do it. Daryl, it was a real battle for them, but they're winning now. And the poem is perfect. Lindy, that's what gets us, she must have been so confused. CrazyCath, that's what we want, for her to just be able to live her life and be accepted and valued for who she is. WT, there were times we did think that, and hell, who wouldn't have an attitude in that situation, but she's doing great and her mum and dad are the best. Maureen thanks. I couldn't write it before, but things are going so well now that it just poured out. Rosie, thanks mate. x Lilacs, it's been a journey, but it's been worth it for tis outcome. We feel so relieved and hopeful now. Akela, it was down to my bro and sis-in-law that it was this quick believe it or not! Apparently it's not normally discovered till they're much older. Scary isn't it? Sybil, it’s been rough but she is a wicked kid and she’s doing really well. :D

These children are so challenging but every now and then the bridge does connect and for a short while it is possible to play pooh sticks together in the middle. Those times are so special, they help us put aside the difficulties and just enjoy the moment. Beautiful poem. Love to your bro and SIL x Fab, as always lovely Jo.
