Giving and Taking Away

July 7, 2015 by Sarah Parshall Perry 3 Comments

  If you can watch your child slip into the pseudo-coma of anesthesia and not get teary-eyed, you are a better parent than me. Because my face immediately started leaking. This MRI was a long time coming. For four years, my son has complained of right leg pain. After no longer tolerating the “growing pains” explanation of our doctor, (or Jesse’s nocturnal wailings that “my leg hurts!”), … [Read more...]

One choice—one that you make each day—can drastically affect your life in astounding ways. Choose one option and you will live an abundant life unshaken by the circumstances around you.

Help! We Need an Advocate!

January 28, 2014 by Kelly Langston 4 Comments

About this time, many parents of special needs kids get a little weary, especially in the school year. The pressure to keep up with the schedules, the school tasks, the assignments.
