Advocating for her is hard sometimes. Not only do I have to be her voice, but I have to be the "voice" of her disabilities and abilities .

So many questions... We have all been there... someone asks you something about your child and you are taken back.. you are shocked and you contemplate your response.. Should you kill them with kindness so to speak, do you go down to a different level or do you throw down...

You Are… (a poem)
The warrior in your heart is strong, You understand this world even when things seem so wrong. You see things in your own way, You find ways to tackle each and every day.
