these people make my insanely full family life look super tame January 30, 2008

This really neat-o blog is written by two sisters (one of whom is pregnant) who, along with their husbands, share a communal household with their 7 children, one of whom is severely autistic..

I was really touched by one of the postz from this week in which the mom of the child with autism wrote about dropping him off at a new residential program that they hope will help him a lot, and how he just kept asking to “go home.” I can’t imagine how hard that must be for a mama - to be torn between wanting your child with you and knowing that sometimes, what he really needs is to be elsewhere.
