It's Okay to Hover

I’m a hoverer. I flit about like a nervous hummingbird. When I am sitting seemingly still, my mind is still jumping back and forth between all the little ducklings in my brood. Am I allowing the diva enough opportunities to grow and nurture her free spirit and fashion aspirations, while still planting reasonable expectations in her head for the future? How can I help my little Aspie deal with society and their lack of respect for anything that doesn’t fit the norm?

You Are Our Glue

“You are our glue.” The words resonated with me unlike any words had before. Glue?! I have to be glue? No pressure, I’m just the substance whose sole purpose is to make things that would normally not go together stick together for all of eternity. Of course, it was a compliment. My family was acknowledging that without me things would simply not be as cohesive. The words were never intended to weigh heavily on my mind.

Meeting Matthew

I don’t believe in growing up, at least not entirely. However, there are moments in each person’s life, when it becomes necessary to be an adult. For some, those moments come entirely too soon…for others much too late. For me, adulthood slapped me in the face one afternoon in May of 2004. For the first time in my life I truly understood what it meant to experience life altering fear, true love, and endless hope.
