WHY do i always have to deal with my little brother needs? Was i meant to have a bad life having to deal with all this or was i blessed? There are many bright sides to having a brother with special needs! I get to:
I get to say i helped raise this little boy
I am expecting not just my brother's but my friends, parents and family unexpected mood changes.
I can say I know what a catheter is.
I can be extra proud of my brother(especially when he shows me he can skip, hop on one foot, etc.)
Some of the bad things that happen because of having a little brother with needs are:
Baby sitting him.
Having to hold him while he kicks and screams bloody murder whenever my parents leave.
Having to cath a little brother before bed.
Having his mood change in second.
Having to tell my friends that my little brother stills wears diapers
All though there are bad things in having a little brother with needs, there is a list 10 times bigger about the pluses! I love my little brother and though i have my doubts sometimes, my brother and I have a bond that no one could break. I just have a spacial way with him. I love him very much. I couldn't have asked for anything else ( though a little sister would be nice:))
So it's true, I am VERY BLESSED!

I'm sorry we leave him sometimes kicking and screaming, but you are very good with him and you always shove us out the door and say "mom, I can handle it....I'm good with him." And, yes you are very good with him and to him and I love you so much for just who you are too!
Aww, Kaia... I hear you! Sometimes I had those "why me" thoughts about my own parents (being deaf and all) but now that I am grown I can say it is one of the biggest and best blessings of my life... and it still is to this day.
You ARE blessed Kaia... and smart too.
And you know what else Kaia ~ you are developing skills that will give you knowledge for your future. You were not sent to this family by chance. Heavenly Father always knows what He's doing ~ and you are part of his divine plan. Lucky Blake ,,, lucky us!
Love you,
Grandma Shari
you're a wonderful sister & I am certain you'll make an amazing mother someday. You're patient and kind. I am sure there are times when you think a brother without his needs would be easier. In my experiences the things in life that are easy don't teach me anything. It is when times are tough that you're able to grow and become a better person. Your brother is a blessing, I know you know that. :) You're a sweetheart!!
Awww...my friends, you left such sweet comments to Kaia that made me cry. Although I cry easy these days, and No...I'm not pregnant! Love you two...and you too Mom!
I so hear you Kaia! But I am glad to know that you think the good list is way longer than the bad list! And I can honestly say that when I have seen you with your brother you are AMAZING, God blessed not only Blake & your mom and dad by giving them YOU, but He is blessing you with the lessons He is showing you! I also think that it is GREAT that you are confident enough to share your feelings on the subject!
Hugs to you girl....
Kaia that is very beautiful.
