How would you feel if....? |

Me and my son have a fair few disagreements due to his disabilites. One morning about 3 weeks ago he had been his usual defiant self and when he left for school the air wasn't warm and fuzzy shall we say, I had waved him goodbye and he merrily went
off to school at his usual time.
2 hours later school rang and informed me that he had arrived 20 mins late as he was playing in a farmer's field across from the school and someone had had to fetch him in. Bear in mind the walk from my house to the school takes about 2 and a half minutes!
I was angry, worried and really annoyed with myself. My son had decided to be led by a school friend to play in the field-due to his disabilities this is easy for anyone to do so we always are careful in situations. I kept thinking why did he do it, what would have happened if he was shot-farmer's have rights! What would have happened if he had had an acident and then it struck me cold-that morning I did not tell him I love him like I usually would-I was too annoyed still from his disgraceful beahviour and had been side tracked with having to fnd all his school games kit and his books because he hadn't bothered!
I never said to him I love him that morning-what would have happened if there wa never another morning?
Tell your children at least once a day that you love them no matter how angry and hurt you may be from an earlier moment, they are precious to us. In fact tell people that you love them! We all need to feel wanted and ok maybe the other person knows you do love them but to hear those words means you made an effort to say them!
Hugs n hope.
