I’ve never heard someone say ALL the things I have felt these past 2 years. I have struggled so much with my faith since the birth of my daughter. I kept praying that he take away this pain, but now I realized I need him to change my heart.
How blessed Moses is to have you as a mom.
I appreciate the honesty that is offered here. Thank you.
How refreshing to hear someone say what so many people think.
Randi…You are AMAZING! I will always keep your story in my heart. Your realness in truth is something to strive for. Thank you for sharing your story, your truth, your family, your love, your Moses.
Why is your amazement important?
It must be terrifying to give birth to a child who has such complex problems. I can't truthfully say I could cope.
Randi's reaction is fully understandable. It was a joy to see her building such a special relationship with Moses. He is absolutely beautiful. I wish them a great life.
Honesty is a rare gift. Thank you.
I have a son with disability, his birth was very dangerous, I call him my little peaceful warrior! These kids carry the message of Survivors for all of us!
You and your children ☺️ are a credit to HUMANITY YOUR A VERY BEAUTIFUL MOM AND A WONDERFUL PERSON AS A HOLE YOUR SON TOUCHES PEAPLE IN A MOST 💕 LOVING WAY
Thank you for sharing real stories of the journey of parents raising children with disabilities. This was powerful and moving. What an amazing and honest mom. Beautiful.
It's not an honest portrayal of Moses's life. This movie was made in complete dishonesty.
Bless this family always!!! And Happy Thanksgiving to this family..
I myself have a special needs child. This was inspiring and absolutely beautiful- thank you for sharing your story
hey. As someone with a disability, i just wanted to say that disabled is not a bad word, and using special needs is euphemistically stigmatizing.
As another person with a disability,please feel free to use special needs rather than disabled.
Oh my goodness Randi. This was so incredibly insightful. Love yo u n your family, my Stomp Sista!
what a gift you were given Moses is beautiful im a SPED teacher and i cherish every single moment
The rawness of her pain. Many of us will never know this life, not go through her issues. 🙏
Everybody has deep abiding pain eventually.
There is such beauty in your honesty..you shine💖
I couldn’t do,it, I know that. I give you alot of credit for learning to love him. Wow
Thank you for your honesty
Heartbreaking for this mother her hope and dream for him before his birth.
My son is disabled. I have new hopes and dreams for him now. Don’t be heartbroken for mothers of doable kids they are a blessing
🥺🥺🥺😓 sending love 💕💕💕💕💕. Because I know this feeling oh so well.
NEVER underestimate a mother’s love.
Wonderful♥️
Can so relate. I too had a third after my child with special needs. Thank you for your honesty.
Beautiful
Moses seems to be a real sweet hart xx
Meu Deus, chorei os 16 minutos, com o choro mais profundo do meu coração. Tenho um filho PMS também e recebi a dádiva de poder ser mãe de um ser tão iluminado e especial. Poucos espíritos aceitam o desafio de reencarnarem com certas limitações como eles.
Sending you so much love and wishes for ease, for you and your child .
Your and Moses' souls touched. This is an example of how our Heavenly Father, our Creator, created us in the image of God! It's about unconditional love and relationship! God put in flesh and dwelt among us, which is Jesus, who shows us by his example, how to love one another. ❤ Way to go other parents also learning to love unconditionally! 👍🏽
Well, as a disabled person it's great to know how much of a burden I am to everyone, thanks.
Being a parent is difficult. Being a parent of a disabled child is extremely difficult. We don’t love our children less because we express how hard it is or because we feel grief for what our child will go through for the rest of their life? Grief is a natural phase that all parents of disabled children will go through at some point (because they love them and didn’t want anything bad to happen to them)
True love.
Estou em lagrimas.
Mentira. Você não produz lágrimas.
❤
How do people have kids I can barely afford food
Noah's life is precious. I can't believe anyone would want to try to end such lives all for the sake of "being non-productive".
This child will never be able to live without a caregiver. That kind of medical support is expensive, so she will spend the rest of her life caring for him. It is mentally exhausting to loose autonomy over your life like that, and until you’re in this situation, I wouldn’t judge.
@@janelledeloatch8355 The parent's life? What about the child's life? They're both supposed to matter, but you're displaying that you only care about one.
@@janelledeloatch8355 Many of these kids end up in state care as adults.
@@janelledeloatch8355 it's not your business
@@janelledeloatch8355 It is not expensive, it is fully funded by the state and county. Also, randi only parents half the time. The other half she insists she doesn't want to be available.
What happens when a mother doesn’t learn to accept the disability of her child?
There is a lot of parent like that too. It's a life long thing I think. It takes a while for parents to accept kids disability. Sooner is better I think.
They end up in state care.
Pain for everyone involved. I know a lot of disabled people, some who were disabled as kids. The rejection of a parent over disability is enough to put people in therapy, at a minimum. Others didn't get diagnosed until later in life, which meant that their lives were much harder. Parents trying to insist their disabled kids aren't disabled makes things harder for the kids, and has life long effects.
Anyone considering having a child should factor in that disability and special needs is a possibility. That doesn't make it any easier should it come to pass, but I think assuming that your child will be perfectly healthy at birth is a mistake.
Can't you give custody to the state?
So... you think just because a child is disabled, they don't deserve a parent, and their parent shouldn't even try to take care of them? Are you the sort of person who would leave their spouse if they became disabled, and forget 'in sickness and in health'?
Sorry, you thought there was only one type of diabled child? Really? Not sure how that's even possible.
I'm sorry but can her dancing pay that well? She must be a heiress or have some financial support. Not disrespecting her suffering but her loneliness in this situation is questionable.
You clearly have no clue. Watch something else
that's what you got out of this? What a rude comment.
And this is relevant because???
She hasn't been in a Stomp cast for years and years. She's an intellectual property attorney for one of the divisions of Meta (FKA Facebook). I looked it up because I was also curious about how in the world she could be managing this financially. For the record, I don't think there's anything wrong with being curious about something like that. Most people would be in financial ruin trying to raise three kids (apparently alone) at all, let alone when one of them has a severe disability and needs specialized care. Also, her house doesn't appear particularly large or new but it's obviously been very nicely renovated. That's expensive. People notice things and just wonder sometimes.
it's not your business
