It's difficult to remain focused

It's difficult to remain focused when you are dwelling on something else.

Connor's funeral was on Tuesday, and, although it was an undoubtedly sad occassion...it also made me very proud.

My son...only four years and eight months old, and he couldn't speak or walk...yet he had an impact on everyone that he met.

It's sad from a selfish viewpoint that I will never, ever see him again...but at least he won't have to struggle any more.

It's almost as if he had achieved what he was put on this Earth to do...and now he can have a rest.

I'm doing what I really wanted to do.
Lesley has just begun a little part-time job.
Katie is thriving at school...and is so tolerant of people not as fortunate as herself.

And that's just us.

Many members of my close family have realized that there is more to life because of our experiences with Connor.

It humbles me when I think about how much a little special needs boy can change lives.

Now...for me...it is a difficult time. I don't have any benefits that we were entitled to to fall back on...and I've just bought the car that we were leasing (for free) because of Connor's disabilities.

But...wouldn't you agree that we are defined by how we react to these sorts of challenges?

The next two weeks is going to be a critical time for my online business. The next six months even more so!

But...isn't it going to be fun trying to make it work?
