If my daughter had a time machine, she may choose to go back in time and be born without FASD. But if she chose that I would never have become her mum.
My wish is that she could go back in time, receive a diagnosis earlier and therefore receive supports and interventions to lessen the struggles we have faced.
This is one wish still outstanding.
More wishful thinking than reality.
It may be too late for the maiden and I to go back in time to change the past, but my wish is that by sharing our journey over the last six years it has helped some families avoid some of the issues we have had, helped to lessen the severity, or helped you to advocate just knowing what is going on.
The lessons you are sharing are making a big difference for others just starting this journey. Your daughter must be very proud of your work!
Thank you so much Ab … you are very kind! My daughter does tell me in her own way and she has told me whatever I need to share about her to help others she wants me to know I can. Which is an amazing gift from her to everyone.
