Blogging

Hello! It’s been a while but I’m back to blogging!

Life has been ticking along with a now 17 and 14 year old! Scary how quick time is going for both the boys but especially with Ryan. Now’s the time we seriously need to start thinking and planning for Ryan’s future, but the big question is Where do you start?

Ryan’s going to be 18 in 9 months and everything as we know it is going to change, going from childhood to adulthood is daunting and sometimes it feels like there is a massive mountain in front of us, an obstacle that has to be overcome to get where we need to be for Ryan. There are so many things that are going to change, the security of having school is going to disappear, his respite as we know it will be different and how is Ryan going to fill in his days? As well as health needs changing into adult services these are some of the things Kristian and I need to start thinking about for Ryan’s future. The decisions we make for Ryan are going to shape his future and the responsibility and weight that carries is huge. All you want is the best for your children and with Noah we can advise him but ultimately how his life maps out is up to him.

I wish I had a crystal ball to see how the next 10 years or so will plan out, will we make the right decisions for him, will he be happy? The only thing I know for certain is how much we love the boys and how we will do everything in our power to ensure they are both happy. Who said parenting was easy!

Well I’m going to go and have a squishy cuddle with Ryan now, one of our favourite things to do 💙
