This Year Is Different

Look what happens, when your special needs child is in the right school and you are not having to fight for inclusion, proper placement, and education. Also, you finally have a place of your own again, fires be damned!


You can have the time and resources to buy your child a bed, so they are no longer sleeping on the floor, because they don't want to fall off their twin mattress that has grown too small over the past, chaotic year.

Silver lining for being evacuated due to a catastrophic fire last month ... I discovered that James could sleep in a bed, and well, if it was large enough. He adored snuggling up in the fold-out queen bed and was able to snooze through bathroom or kitchenette use in our hotel room.

Now he has a queen bed of his own that he helped pick out. I bought the frame on sale from a local store and purchased the mattress online. James also picked out his own bedding.

A big shout out to our friends, who helped put together the frame and un-spring the mattress from its VERY heavy box! You both are awesome.

Sleep well, my big guy!

Thankful Gathering

Want to see what happens when you make a friend at school and you sit together with your friends and families at a school event, where the support and caring are through the roof?


This.

Makes the fight worth it.

Love you to the moon and back, James.


Thank you, Anova!
