Kindred Spirits

Sedra and I grew up together in the same ward in Alpine.

She was one grade higher then me in school though so we were never super close.

When we went off to colleges we went our separate ways.

But come facebook we both friended each other.

It wasn't long before we realized our sons were very similar.

We found ourselves constantly writing on each others posts, "My son too."

We said it with the good and fun things but also with the concerning things.

Soon we were writing novels to each other and decided to exchange phone numbers.

We started texting, asking each other what we were doing to handle situations our boys were going through.

Her boy wasn't talking on time, he had a speech therapist, she got fed up with the same things about the system that I did.

But there were other things we had in common.

Wondering if we created the issues our boys were going through.

Wondering why the normal ways of parenting weren't working for us.

Wondering if this was simply a delay or if it was something else.

Well for a long time we planned to get together and let our boys meet.

After a lot of sicknesses and something came ups we finally got together at Carl's Jr.

Our boys both having aspergers means that they didn't really acknowledge one another much.

We would like to say that we went for the boys but really we went for one another.

Us moms need one another.

We need to know that we aren't alone.

 Although I don't always understand what my friends are going through with their three year olds, I know that Sedra and I understand one another.
