why did I cry...

when my church's kitchen coordinator (whom I love) thought it best if I packed my son's dinner for our all-church dinners on Wednesday nights instead of trying to figure out which meals and food he could eat.

I've packed his food many times before. It's just the nature of having a son with food allergies. It's not a big deal, and I don't want others to bend over backwards for us. If he doesn't outgrow his food allergies, we want to help Henri learn how to live and eat outside of his home, asking lots of questions about the food or bringing along his own food.

Today, I felt bad about it.

Oh, Yvette...

Thanks for sharing. It IS hard when there are just things that our kids can't do or participate in because of what they are dealing with. We have struggled with that with Kylie as well and it IS hard. And, it IS OK to just cry and be sad about it sometimes.

Sending you hugs!

I'm sorry, Yvette.

How did Henri like the kids' choir?
