"Don't go changing to try and please me--We never could have come this far!!!" Posted By: striving

I'm afraid this is going to be along blog, so hang in there. Went to a pool we're a member of today. Because my son lacks language to make friends he swims right up to other kids and says "Squidward, Squidward" I think he thinks they probaly watch Sponge Bob too. The kids and the moms look at him funny. He gets so close to others swimming right up to them trying to make friends; I guard the path to getting too close to other kids, some of them are little, scared girls. My guy would'nt hurt a fly, as a matter of fact he lets kids hurt him and just stands there. My son splashes wildly to get other kid's attention also. So this mom just says to her kids/ "Come one kids let's go play with the friends you came here to meet" I just stayed in the kiddie pool with my son, later taking him to the deep end with a noodle so we did'nt bother them. When we got to the deep end a old Billy Joel song was playing on the radio; "Don't go changing to try and please me, I love you just the way you are, I would'nt leave you in times of trouble, we never could have come this far" ---Very symbolic of my feelings!!! I hated that I cryed on the way home, then called a true friend who cared. It's sad this world does not show the love of God more than it does. I forgive them. After they left the kiddie pool my little guy says; "Where did his kids go?, Oh, they go away" and when taking him to the car he said; "That was his girl, that was his girl" He wants a friend so bad, it just breaks my heart. Like I said, "I forgive them"

First of all...LOL...on a happy note! I now have this song stuck in my Head! But after reading the rest of your post...all I can think of is HOW APPROPRIATE This Song is!And Great Big hugs to you....I have been there and shared your tears, many times. And I love the point about Forgiveness...I have learned it is necessary. I once stumbled accross a quote...and well it has really stuck with me.Sometimes those that need love the most, are those that deserve it the least!God Bless You!Lisa
