Every once in a while, I wake up scared and needing to read something to bring me some peace so I can try to go back to sleep. Reading your article gave me that, alhamdulilah. I know just what you mean by experiencing that “normalcy”, however far and few those moments are, it reminds me that Allah SWT is always here, guiding us. The challenges of raising a child with special needs is a difficult task, Alhamdulilah Allah felt we would all be up to the challenge. Thank you for your heartfelt article 🙂

then you will live all happily ever after …
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَ‌بِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it. (6) Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand, (7) He will be judged with an easy account (8) And return to his people in happiness.

Masha’Allah, beautiful words that reflect a beautiful heart. So many times, I have seen mothers of special needs kids interacting with their children, and I wonder at their patience and perseverance. Motherhood can be so challenging and exhausting, even without having to deal with atypical behaviors. Typical childhood behaviors are quite tough enough! May Allah SWT bless you with incredible patience in this life, and may He SWT reunite your whole family in the highest level of Jannah someday. May your son be healthy and joyful there, and may his gratitude for the love you gave him in the dunya be your key to any gate in Paradise. Ameen.

Just like everyone else, I couldn’t help it… You made me pour out tears of both thankfulness and admiration. Lilly I respect you. And I have doubtless faith that a mother of a child with special needs is a woman that God choses– more special than any other. What HE has hidden must be a priceless reward. With your struggles, your tears, your perseverance – you build something that no one else could.
You taught me to pause. To appreciate the tiniest details, and stop trying to “get things done.” We all need to appreciate more. May God shower you with his love and generosity.
اللهم لك الحمد و الشكر
Again, thank you for the enlightment.
