Being a special needs parent can be a challenging and isolating journey. As human beings, we are designed to need each other to support and encourage each other, and I begged God to send me someone, or several someones who could be my friends and my support on this challenging special needs parenting journey I was traveling. The first connections I found were online on special needs parenting Facebook groups. It felt great to know there were people in the world in similar situations who could share their questions, their struggles and victories and be general support. (By the way, if you're a Christian special needs mama on Facebook, I encourage you to join our Facebook group where we encourage, support, and pray for one another in our special needs parenting journey.) But what our hearts truly need is a face-to-face friend. Someone we can call or text or meet for coffee and share our hearts' struggles and desires.
