In June of 1998, her oldest son was diagnosed with autism. Less than a year later, in April of 1999, her younger son was diagnosed with the same. They are on opposite ends of the spectrum; one is non-verbal, the other is higher functioning. Not only was she was hit with something most parents never experience, she was hit with it twice and with the highest of extremes.
I was in disbelief for what my eyes took in. Has it really com to this. Have we fallen so far down the economic funnel that this is to be the norm?

All I want to do is write. Okay, not all. I want to play with my kids, love them, watch them grow, and I do… all the time. But selfishly, I want to write too; for writing, I blog. I’m new at blogging and the blogosphere. I am a constant student of what to do when, and what’s going on within social media itself; and I don’t have a lot of time.

Back in "The Day" I would never show my toes unkept in public. No speckles of the last remaining toe nail polish allowed. This is a rule I have definitely broken! How did I get here?
I had children.
