They Give me Grace, Joy, and Hope: Grief
http://www.gracejoyandhope.com/2013/07/grief.html
They Give me Grace, Joy, and Hope. Wednesday, July 10, 2013. It's been a weird day. It started off with all three girls up at some point in the night. Avery wakes up every night, but the other two only wake up here and there. Last night they all woke up at different times, crying, tired, and disoriented. So maybe I am simply sleep deprived.

I thought I was overwhelmed then. If only I knew. I can't get over. I deal,...

What if, God forbid, something happens to me or Bryan. who will make sure Avery and Paxton are cared for, loved, adored, and sheltered from the horrors of institutionalization? And if something happens to me, who on earth will do my girls’ hair? I can’t describe how terrifying these gut-check moments can be. But these moments are part of my reality. They are part of the process of special needs parenting. View my complete...

They Give me Grace, Joy, and Hope: Uncertain Happiness
http://www.gracejoyandhope.com/2013/01/uncertain-happiness.html
They Give me Grace, Joy, and Hope. Sunday, January 13, 2013. I was talking with some of my colleagues in the world of Autism treatment, and heard some disheartening facts about facilities meant for housing and caring for adults with disabilities. It's not as if I didn't know some of the despicable details, but in an effort to maintain positivity, and seek peace and beatitude, I have been trying to convince myself to be more present, as this seems to be a lifetime away. I have ALWAYS said, and I still mai...
