The sector hopes for more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. At all times follow your heart.

I think none of us understand just how complex and difficult language (spoken) is until we see someone struggling to put it together. I wonder if this is the gate opening and the words and letter will fall into place easier for her.

I have seen you advocate for her — standing up to an institution that never got around to giving up on her since they never even let her in. Watched as they tried to trash you for being relentless, listened as they trashed Katie for being a monster. the real monsters, of course, were the ones who were defending the institution.

You are the antithesis of the mother duck in the ugly duckling story.

I’m so glad you liked the post. You probably have a similar story on this same topic from a few years back. And yes, usually the breakthroughs happen when I’m not around, so it was awesome to be standing right there as it unfolded. But I’m glad I refrained from jumping on the bed. :) Hope you also have a wonderful holiday season.

The fact that you took the time to share this beautiful story about; what not many people understand, a fundamental breakthrough that we see as a blessing … or the fact that Katie achieved this with you present in the room. Yes Cynthia, so what if it happened a few years late…. IT HAPPENED! And it will happen again and again because she has a wonderful person in her life that believes in her and will ALWAYS believe in her :) By the way, good call on not jumping and crying on the bed in front of your daughter. That probably would have totally freaked her out … Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful holiday! Dawn Brown
