HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OF THE WONDERFUL FATHER'S OUT THERE!
Hi Everyone!
I hope all of you have a WONDERFUL day with your Dad! Let him know how MUCH he's loved and appreciated! Tell him thank you for all that he's done for you! I have a WONDERFUL father, who does ANYTHING he can too make me feel safe, loved, appreciated and to make my life as simple as possible! Most people who have C.P. don't have the resources or parents who care as much like I do! They see to it that they have a MOST comfortable life as possible and I'm grateful for that!
Today is a mixed emotions day for both my Dad "John" and I! Today would have been my Mom "Vicky's" sixth anniversary of her death! But if we sick together like glue, like we ALWAYS have we'll be just fine and have each other! I hope all of you out there tell your Dad what a SPECIAL person he is in your life! Have a GREAT day with your Dad's

HAPPY 33RD ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!
Hi Everyone!
Today is a very special day! Today my parents would have been married for 33 years! It's amazing that it's been that long, they were married for 28 WONDERFUL years until my Mom "Vicky" got brain cancer! She was only 49 years old when she passed away! What a short life! In her lifetime she achieved marvelous things, and earned many awards for Grant Writing! She even went too Costa Rica as a Foreign Exchange student for three summers, she also was fluent in Spanish, she also had a college degree in Education, she also helped me with my schooling and Physical and Occupational therapy! She will be remembered most for what a MARVELOUS woman we ALL lost! It's a shame for all of you who NEVER met this remarkable woman, who was taken from us too short! I only was 24 years old when she passed away! My parents Vicky and John had a WONDERFUL marriage, a marriage that most couples dream about having! Both my parents are very proud of my progress of me becoming independent! It's a shame that my Mom didn't live see me accomplish my goal of living in my new apartment but I know she's happy and out of pain in heaven! This May 17th I'll be 30 years old and that was my Mom's goal for me to become independent and in my own place by the time I was 30, well guess what, I made my goal, I'm sure she's very happy! My Mom's relatives! My Aunt Natalie, Uncle Tim and my cousin's Emmie and Julia were here for a visit from out of town and they came and saw my new apartment for the first time, they were very pleased with how well I'm doing they left for home on Thursday! My Grandma Bena will be visiting in May, she's going to be staying with me at my new apartment, then she'll get too meet all of my friends! I'll love you Mom and Dad for a lifetime!

FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY WE ALL LOST A WONDERFUL MAN, MY UNCLE JOHN!
Hi Everyone!
Five years ago today, we lost my Uncle John in a snow mobile accident! He was a "WONDERFUL" man who will be missed for a lifetime! He was the most giving person, he would help anyone in ANY type of need! He was one of my FAVORITE Uncles! I know he loved me as much as I loved him!
He tried too include me in any opportunity he could to be independent! He was my second father! After a long day of work, if someone called in need of help, no matter how tired he was, he would go them with what ever they needed help with and still get up for a long hard days work the next day, you can't beat that!
I miss him "VERY" much! Thanks Uncle John for being a GREAT guy!

TODAY A FEW RESIDENTS IN MY APARMENT COMPLEX HAD A CHOCOLATE PARTY!
Hi Everyone!
Today a few residents had a Chocolate party in the community room! A woman "who does these chocolate parties for a living" came too put different selections of chocolate to try and gave out a catalog of selections of different chocolates to buy! There was also chocolate cocktails! We also had a spaghetti dinner with garlic bread! There was pop and juice for the kids!
We had a GREAT day! If any of you LOVE chocolate like I do! Think about having a chocolate party for your friends and family! I'm looking forward to going to another one real soon! You'll ENJOY every minute of it!
You NEVER know how MUCH fun life can be! You just have too get out there and experience new things! Things are scary for everyone, but if you NEVER try new things, life is pretty boring! Sure I'm nervous but as long as I try new things with family and friends I know I will be a better and healthier person for it! I'm trying to NOT be so scared and venture out into the world and try new things that I've ALWAYS wanted too do! If you are ALWAYS afraid of things you ALWAYS wanted to try and NEVER try them then you will ALWAYS be in a shell your entire life, but if you experience new things that you would like too do and can't do them right the first time, that's ok! It's ALWAYS ok to ask someone for help! NEVER feel embarrassed about your disability, you are human and have feelings just like everyone else! Just because you have C.P. or another disability that doesn't make you less important than anyone else! If people have a problem with that, then I guess it's there OWN loss!
It's ALWAYS ok too let your family and friends know how you feel, but it's NOT ok too feel sorry for yourself! People that feel sorry for themselves do not have good self esteem or self worth! I would tell someone, you know what I'm MORE than that and I can do ANYTHING I set my mind too and NOTHING will stop me! If you, can't or won't start doing things too help yourself then you are only hurting the best things that could be coming your way in the future and I'm sorry! But for my life I choose too experience EVERYTHING I can and have the most opportunities so I can live my life too its fullest!

MY FAMILY AND I HAD TOO SAY FAREWELL TO OUR BELOVED DOG BO!
Hi Everyone!
Last Thursday my family and I had to0 say goodbye to our four year old Doxen Bo! He was a GREAT dog that will be missed! He had trouble with his back legs and couldn't jump anymore! He was eating and drinking just fine, but he just wasn't his old self! He was "man's best friend"! He would want to be loved, snuggled, and played with! He loved to play tug of war and tear up stuffed animals, go for walks, riding in the car, boat, and going swimming! He was a EXCELLENT watch dog! He also loved to go on family vacations!
For people with C.P. some dogs are trained to help people live a self-sufficient life as possible! Those dogs are called a therapy dog! Let me explain to all of you what a therapy dog is trained to do! These dogs help people get things from high spaces, shelves, and counters! They can go in public with you as well, they just have to have a harness on them to let people know that they are a therapy dog!
No one is allowed to pet or play with the dog because, the dog is suppose to devote "ALL"of it's attention on the disabled person! If people see the dog in public BEFORE they pet the dog they should ask the owner if it's ok to do so! Most therapy dogs are Chocolate Labs! The dogs can also get people out of harms way! For instances, if there was a fire, the dog would pull the person out of a burning building, pick the phone for them or turn on light switches
We sure did love you Bo, I'm glad you are in dogie heaven and out of pain! We'll miss you! Thanks for being a GREAT dog!
