Dear Cindy and Lynda,
Your hugs, prayers and friendship mean the world to me!
I was floored again yesterday, our eldest has 5 specific learning difficulties, with that she still does not qualify for funded support through school. However the school had assured me that they would help as much as they could and we are extremely grateful.
Yes we asked for support, but we had no expectations and they offered help with reading, Maths and because of her difficulties writing tutoring on a keyboard.
I was a lil surprised, no less to learn as I casually asked her the other day how her tying tutor was going to hear she had had only one lesson since May. So I called the special ed coordinator, also to advise regarding our other daughter to start in the new year, in a very gentle and not at all demanding of "rights" way to say "I was confused and is this help still available for her."
Then when I pick my daughter up from school, the teacher had approached her and said you know that there are others with many more difficulties than you and that is their time, and it is a privilege and not a right.
To which my daughter described she had this feeling preceding crying and she could not breathe .......... and felt compelled to say that she understood and did not expect anything. She cried for so long her face was all wet as she put it and her friend took her down for a drink of water.
The only saving grace was that then the teacher said how about we get the typing tutor in the classroom and you can do it here in the mornings?
I pray the Lord gives me the wisdom and words if necessary to handle this if it needs be, without making the situation worse., Cindy. Thank you so for your love and prayers.
I told our beautiful daughter, you know maybe she was having a bad day, maybe she's real tired and busy. Maybe we can forgive that and not be angry with her about it.
God help me what I cant forgive at the moment is that she has crushed my girls confidence, embarrassed her in front of a classroom and made her feel like she cant have the help.
Lynda, you are the most kind, you all are here, generous of heart. I go most days to the gym, and I still cant work "of" my anger these days.
I pray for our nights and our days.
Love and blessings, Maria. xxxxxxxx
