PRECIOUS MEMORIES THAT WE ALL TREASURE AND WILL FOREVER LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS FOR A LIFETIME!

Hi Everyone!

Today is a very special day that I hold very sacred in my heart! Today would have been my Mom "Vicky's" 54th birthday! I hope I have shown her how independent I've become! She would be very proud of me! I am where I am today because of her!

So please take my advice it's very IMPORTANT for you to become as independent as possible! Someday the people near and dear to our hearts are taken from us WAY too soon when we least expect it and we NEVER get too thank them for all that they have done for us! I feel bad because NOW I can't do anything in return too let my Mom know how special she really was, still is, and will always be!

So please, dear readers make SURE that you tell and show the people in YOUR lives how MUCH you appreciate ALL that they do for you! Also let them know that even if they have passed away they did a WONDERFUL job in helping you become the person that you are today!

"I OWE IT ALL TO YOU MOM, YOU'RE THE BEST THAT MONEY CAN BUY"! "THANKS FOR EVERYTHING"!

TODAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A BABY SHOWER!

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted too let all of you know that I went too a baby shower for a close family friend! It was a very nice shower with food and drinks! My family, friends and I just enjoyed ourselves! We had a very nice meal, then after the meal, we had chocolate cake and cookies, then we all sat down too open gifts!

When I'm around family and friends I DON'T feel out of place because they accept for who I am! That's a WONDERFUL feeling, knowing that no one cares what you like or how long it takes for you too get some where or do something! ALL that matters too them is that you are having a good time together and you are part of the crowd!

Sometimes people with Cerebral Palsy feel out of place or that they shouldn't be allowed too have the same experiences and fun as everyone else, because they need EXTRA help! Also you feel very embarrassed and sometimes you're left out of things that you really like or want too do because you physically aren't able too do what everyone else is doing! In MOST cases people are NOT willing too help you, but I'm VERY lucky that I have people in my life who WANT and are WILLING too help me with whatever I need!

PLEASE everyone, take my advice, try something NEW everyday BY YOURSELF! Then you know you can and will accomplish whatever you want too do in YOUR life!

I also have some more GREAT news! For the FIRST time EVER I cooked a entire meal by myself, I felt very independent! If you DON'T try things that you are scared of you'll NEVER learn how too NOT be afraid of doing them! When I live in my OWN place someday I know I WON'T be afraid of cooking, cleaning, and go on with things in my own life because I have prepared myself for the obstacles that I will face! But that doesn't mean that I'll throw in the towel and say "this is too hard" or "I can't do this" ! The MORE times that you practice things that you WANT to learn, the better you'll get at doing them! The MORE often you do them WITHOUT anyone's help, you'll SOON figure out that you can do them "ALL BY YOURSELF",you'll feel GREAT about yourself and be a happier person inside because of it!

You should take NEW steps "EVERY DAY" on being independent and living "ON YOUR OWN"!
