His 7th year party

Tomorrow, my son will celebrate his 7th birthday with a party with his classmates. It'll be his first ever birthday party.

Seven years old. What a journey. Such achievements he's made. His Year 2 class teacher says he's doing fine in school. He is a lot more focused, completes his work, requires very little supervision. Those comments are a stark contrast to how he was in Year 1 just a few months ago.

There are still many challenges for him to overcome, in various areas. Many a times, I still feel overwhelmed by it all, so burnt out, so helpless.

But there are also many moments were I celebrate his little achievements and tell him just how incredibly proud I am of him for working hard, never giving up and of how far he has come.

I pray for his continued progress, for support, for great friends and teachers, for great health, for resilience, for happiness.
