Getting Over What She Can't Do - Part 2

Last night I laid in bed crying after the post I made yesterday.  I am really realizing how much I'm going to miss out on.  My daughter not being able to talk may not seem like a big deal, but I feel like I will miss out on so much that is going on in the little brain of hers.  I will never know what her favorite color or food is.  I will never talk about a boy she likes or how her first date went.  We will never discuss tv shows or movies.  She will never read to me.  She will never tell me that she loves me.  We will never discuss what she learned in school or at church.  She will never be able to tell me who her best friend is.  I wonder if the children she grew up with will leave her behind because they can't communicate with her.  It makes me cry and I hope that I can get through this stage quickly.  There's many stages of denial and when having a special needs child, you can go through them many times.  There's many times that I am strong and her delays don't even phase me, but realizing that she might not talk is definitely taking a toll on me.
