What Matters

-
Living in the world of special needs, you sometimes come across people who inspire you to try and become a better person, or to try and fight the battle a little harder, and sometimes they make you feel like you haven't even tried.

We have been attending the Rocky Mountain Inclusion conference for quite a few years now, always taking away something special to think about, and make new friends.

One of the more motivating speakers I have ever seen is Norman Kunc. Like my son Norman has Cerebral Palsy, and has been a constant source of motivation and information.

He presented this video at one of the conferences, and I have always thought it was amazing, but never found it out in public until now. We purchased a copy for ourselves that does not have the narration, which I like better since you can hear On Earth as it is in Heaven, from The Mission better.

Enjoy,
Skylers Dad

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
