Write It Down by Jennie Linthorst:
Life moves fast when you have a child with special needs.   As parents, we’re constantly motivating our children child with Herculean efforts, affect, patience, problem-solving, and love, to move through another day of progress out in a world that doesn’t seem to quite understand the nuances of our [...]]]></description>

Last year, I had my very first Cookie Exchange.  Lesson learned.  I’m SO winning something this year, I grabbed a cookie recipe from a friend (thank you) that&#8217;s sure to win.  Or possibly I’ll win the “presentation” award, if nothing else, I’ll be appropriately dressed.

What I’m finding, and what I’ll be posting about soon is that we can never stop fighting, learning, yearning nor working for more.  It’s exhausting, draining and necessary.

On this day of Remembrance, of lives lost, memories of lives celebrated, perseverance had and perseverance still progressing, I wonder what we’ve learned, how far we’ve come, do we remember all who lost their lives in such a horrific manner.
