”…you’ll never know…
how much I love you…
Please don’t take
my Sunshine
Away…..”
Thus is the end of the song my daughter, your granddaughter loves. The song that was chosen for her by you. The song that describes her, the feeling I had for her once she was born, but never said out loud.
She is Sunshine.
And until she came [...]

Towards the end of summer in sunny Colorado, my entire family wanted to get one last outdoor swim in. My husband and I swam and played with the kids in the large pool, enjoying a game of keep away.
As my son jumped wildly with excitement to catch the water filled sponge ball, which almost careened [...]

There are many times I feel impassioned about Alex’s special needs. Many times I feel a ferocious roar in my throat, feel the hardening of my limbs as they unwillingly move into an unbending stance, preparing to pounce at any wrong word, any misspoken tone, any gesture clearly not thought out.
