Most of the time, I’m not a blog pusher. But every now and then I come across a blog so sincere and fresh, I want to pass it along to others. A few weeks ago, I did a series on Wrestling with an Angel, one of the few blogs written by the father of a child with special needs instead of by a mom. Today, I want to highlight Love That Max.
Meet Ellen Seidman
Ellen Seidman, Max’s mom, writes frankly about life with a son who has cerebral palsy. Many of her stories are upbeat and hilarious – she makes her child’s nine month obsession with the color purple so funny I check back often to see how it’s progressing – but she’s transparent, too. She shares her fears and disappointments freely but without self-pity.
Get in on the Give Aways
Because of her career as a magazine editor and web design consultant, she has access to vendors who provide pretty cool products for free give aways now and then. Many of them involve food, especially chocolate. I tell you, she’s my kind of woman.
Totally Different Writing Styles
A word of warning to those of you who love Greg Lucas’s blog and may be thinking that Ellen’s is like it: it’s not. She doesn’t get theological, though she can be quite thoughtful. She doesn’t talk much about her faith, but her love for her children and her zest for life are apparent. She writes from a different vantage point than I’m accustomed to, and that’s why I like her. I hope you do, too.
