Outrageous Fortune: If a Tragedy Happens and Nobody Cries Is It Still A Tragedy?
I want my child to be treated as normal and appreciated as special at the same time, sounds a little crazy doesn't it. The extended family for the special needs child, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins... will never understand our lives or our minds and don't really want to get in our heads... it's too hard and too close. They have the luxury that they don't really have to understand us.
About the Small Stuff: Playgrounds Make Me Emotional. Me too.
Also, a seminar in Naples, Florida for Special Needs Planning on Aug. 3rd.

Hi Stacie,
Hope you and your family are surviving this heat. Who would have thought that we here in Florida would have it cooler than parts of the North? Wow. Thank you for stopping by the Tiki Hut today. Hope you stayed long enough to dig your toes into the "virtual" sand and have a chilly beverage. Here's looking forward to a good week {cheers}

Your writing is so inspiring & beautiful.
