Am I Wrong?

There's a song that I hear quite often on the radio, you all know it or have heard it at least once, "Am I Wrong?" by Nico & Vinz. Well I just really love this song...it holds a lot of meaning for where I am right now. If you don't know the lyrics here they are:

                                                                     "Am I Wrong"
Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?

I ain't tryna do what everybody else doing
Just cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

So am I wrong
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?

But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see

Am I tripping for having a vision?
My prediction: I'mma be on the top of the world

Walk your walk and don't look back, always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel
Fight for yours and don't let go, don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel

Am I wrong (am I wrong)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(oh yeah yeah yeah oh)
Now am I wrong (am I wrong)
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
(oh yeah yeah yeah yeah)

But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right
[2x]

Am I wrong
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?

But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see

So am I wrong (am I wrong)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(oh yeah yeah yeah oh)
Now am I wrong (am I wrong)
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
(oh yeah yeah yeah yeah)

But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see


This song can mean something to anyone who is on a "road" anywhere in their life. For me it's about all these changes with Lyla, her diagnosis, her going to preschool at 3 years old, everyday for half days, and taking a BUS to/from! So often I think of how I could have denied the pursuit of a diagnosis, and let her just "Be." but what would that do for her? Nothing but close more doors that we are trying so desperately to open! I really have no idea where this road will take us, but we're on it, and I feel like it's the right path for her and our family. I want nothing more than for her to succeed and be able to share with us all the amazing things she knows and just can't communicate to us right now. I really believe that this daily routine of busing to school and being integrated into a small classroom of her peers, along with therapy and reinforcing all this at home, will unlock some of what's holding her back. I cannot wait for these weeks to unfold. I'm so excited for the "things that I can't see!"

Tomorrow she takes her very first bus ride, and we get to meet her at school and visit with her teachers and classmates and their parents for the first hour of the day. I'm so anxious, nervous and yet, so ready. This will be her place to grow.
