This is the way your parents and grandparents did it. Then after having a special needs child you are under a microscope all the time. For us it was the department of social services.

Originally posted 2014-03-30 13:02:40. My biological father and my mother divorced when I was two years old.

My grandmother was a RN and my grandfather retired from the Army to work for Goodyear. I of course wasn’t apart of that lifestyle. My bio’s mother insisted no “cheap store type…

But their bond is one that I can’t explain. They have been together in even the most traumatic event like the times when child protective services took them away from me on the spot. I remember that like it…

In the eyes of those that oppose of my relationships I am worse than those who I choose to date. Didn’t deserve the breath God gave me. I am ok with that. I realize I can’t please everyone with my actions. My courage is not one for the history books but it belongs in my…

But focusing on the things we do agree on should be the one thing that keeps us together. I do not understand how humanity is killing normal civil friendships. Don’t you have friends you don’t agree with on everything? Does it stop you from being their friend?…
You know I sit here on what seems like 5th day this week, inside, we look out of the window on to a weary damp Friday… I am watching the movie Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Ryan Hurst, Ryan Gosling, and Wood Harris (just to name a few). As you know my husband is black, “african american”, or whatever you choose to label him. He just happens to have more melanin than…

Parents, Grandparents, Guardians…School is starting and I want to ask you a favor… Sit down with your child for 5 minutes and explain that there is no reason to make fun of someone for being tall, short, chubby, skinny, black, white or hispanic, Autistic, etc. There’s nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes 👞👟 every day. Explain to them that a used backpack 🎒 carries the same dreams as a new one. Please teach them…

No matter laws or religion when the day comes that we have to answer to our actions no one else will be held accountable. We have to believe in something and know that what we were taught is…
