Hello and welcome to story time! Today’s post is the fourth in the Different Dream vlog series based upon my devotional, A Different Dream for My Child:Meditations for Parents or Critically or Chronically Ill Children.
This devotion comes from the diagnosis section of the book and is entitled Snap Decisions. It’s the true story of the day in 1982 when I had to very quickly make a life and death decision for our son…without even my husband there to consult. The memory of that moment still brings tears to my eyes, as you will see. Consider that your tissue warning!

Ah, you made it through another week. Pat yourself on the back and take a little break. Today’s vlog is another devotional from the diagnosis section of A Different Dream for My Child. This episode in the Different Dream vlog series is The Blackest Black.
For the seven minutes of this post, consider yourself pampered. You don’t need to find your book, just sit back and put your feet up, and as always, have a tissue handy. This story may bring up memories of your own experience, and if you need to shed a few tears, you’re in good company.

These days, I’m knee deep in writing the rough draft of a contracted book about PTSD in children. As you might guess, writing a book really takes a lot of time! To free up more of the precious commodity, Down the Gravel Road and my other blog, DifferentDream.com, will be cross-posting on Fridays and Mondays.
Different Dream launched a new Friday vlog feature today. Each week, I’m reading a devo from A Different Dream for My Child, a book for parents of kids with special needs. You’re invited to click on over to Different Dream to get the whole scoop. Or pass the link along to parents you know are raising a child with special needs. And come back next Friday to find the link a new vlog entry. Thanks!
