Kids really do look at the world differently. Ryan has asked me if we can move his ceiling hoist into our bedroom in a few years, as apparantly he is going to move into the master bedroom. So were do Mum and Dad sleep I enquired. "You'll be in a nursing home" he responded!
At 41 I don't feel like I am ready to be put out to pasture yet!
As a parent, I want to protect that innocence as long as possible. He also is aware that he needs a "wife" to look after him! Is that what he sees in us that I "look after" his Dad - I suppose I could be setting a worse example than being loving and nurturing.
One thing, neither of my kids will ever be in doubt of - is that they are loved and not just by our words but by our actions too.
There are many arguements for and against Santa,the tooth fairy and Easter bunny, but realistically what harm do they do if they bring a bit of fantasy world and make believe into an increasingly violent and dangerous world.
Ryan is a cheeky 11 year old boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Jane, his proud mum, would like to share the families journey in creating a fabulous life for Ryan in the short time they have him.
