As we are trying to write down the past and advocate for children with all different types of disabilities or conditions that they carry I found that life has gotten in the way of writing. Shortly after my last post in March my grandmother passed away. Along with a few other life changes and before I knew it fall has come. My children are back in school and half the year has gone by. Although this blog has always been in the back of my mind to get back to, I haven’t taken the time to make it happen. I am going to be posting a lot more frequently. I am sorry for the break to the three people who read this blog.
Our goal when we started this blog was to celebrate all people. Not only the people with disabilities or health conditions but everyone who works everyday to get through life. The parents who are lost in a sea of information on their child’s condition and who are figuring it out one step at a time. The mistakes made, the triumphs, the pain, and the success.
With all this we have to be forgiving of ourselves and our shortfalls. I wasn’t prepared for my grandmother’s death and then as I was figuring that out, all of a sudden summer hit and all my kids were home from school. It was just about all I could do to keep them and myself sane throughout the summer. So now that they are back in school we are trying to get back into the swing of things. Our goal is to post more and even have some extra posts waiting for the weeks that we can’t keep up with life. Our main focus has been on my mothers story with Down Syndrome but as time progresses I want to share my story and others stories and similarities in all our situations as well as differences. Like our blog states People CAN Persevere and I believe that we achieve great things even when we feel like we aren’t making any progress at all.
To those who read the blog, thank you!
