“The More Things Change…” – Nathan
Greetings friends! Well, it is that time again as I am once more honored to be a part of your daily intake of reading. Although I often share the awesome craziness of our lives and how our three boys with CTD have gone through some tough spells, everything is on the right track now and this post will be a bit different. Today I would like to talk a bit about consistency, which is something that my family doesn’t really consciously consider very often. Without thinking about it though, consistency has crept into our lives, especially as it pertains to our nine-year-old Elijah.
I would like to mention that as a general rule, I have always thought of consistency as a positive thing. I always held pretty strongly that doing something well was good, but doing something well consistently was great. Unfortunately, like so many ups and downs that parents with amazing kids like ours go through, consistency has in some instances shown itself to be rather cruel when put into perspective.
Will Elijah ever return that high-five? Yes, he will. One day we will be in the middle of a race that I wish would end already and someone will come up with that always recognizable gesture and without missing a beat, Elijah will match it with the familiar smack that speaks volumes without saying a word. How long do I honestly believe it will take before Elijah will perform this task? Well, I think he is sure to do it at our next race…
