Disclaimer: Sometimes I write this blog for you and sometimes it’s for me. This post may be a little of both… She might be telling me off because recently we had to take her to pasture.  But I am also pretty sure she would thank me for letting her be a part of our lives.… Read More

My word last year was EMBRACE.  All year long I held on to it. I lived it. I wanted to embrace the life I was given and stop fantasizing about one that I was supposed to have.  I embraced Sofie’s Autism. I decided we were not living with Autism. Autism was living with us.  Those… Read More
