This is us... take us or leave us but we rock!

This is all of us. We are goofy and we love each other deeply. Luke has an amazing support system.

I think about all I know and all that I am continuing to learn. Each family has a choice to make when it comes to their child with a disability- either the disability with rule them or they will rule the disability. It is wrong to allow a persons disability to become the main focus of a family. The disability is definitely part of the equation, but so are the goals you have as a family. Don't let yourself become so obsessed with your child's disability that you can't look beyond it. These kiddos are amazing and they have such huge potentials. Dare them to reach their potential and provide support for them to get there. There may a few fits and they will make you think that they can't do what you are asking of them, but believe me, they will thank you in the end.
