The Realities of Special Needs

Marie and I would echo all that Nish Weiseth says about her experiences as a mom of special needs child.

Here are some golden words formed in the trenches of parenthood:

Being a special-needs parent is hard. It's work. I'm usually exhausted by noon. But it's also beautiful, inspiring and affirming. When the difficult days come, remind us that there is much to love, much to celebrate and much to be joyful for.

Always remind us of the joy.

And always bring wine.

The whole post is worthy of a reading. Warm comfort and sound wisdom.

Judy Martens - "Strong Enough"

This is belated, but it came to mind again last night so I'm linking to it this morning. My friend Judy posted some thoughts for me the day after my dad died. You can read it all here.

You must. You must think I'm strong, to give me what I'm going through...

Josiah's TV Spots

Hello Everyone

This past week my aunt sent us a DVD of all of Josiah's TV appearances! Unfortunately, this site limits the size of files that I can post on the blog. Instead, I have uploaded all three videos to my Facebook profile. Head over there if you previously missed Josiah's TV debuts!

Toodles.
