I wish I could give a gift that would allow you to see into your child’s future. The unknown can be so very difficult. Will she talk? Will she walk? Can she be potty trained? Will she go to prom? I asked hundreds of questions and there were no answers. I pushed myself so far into the future that I almost forgot to enjoy those sweet baby days.
What I can give you is the gift of walking this journey with many others who have been there and are going through the journey at the same time. We are here to listen to your struggles, celebrate with you at moments large and small, and help you know that you are not alone. – Nancy Atwood, Founder of CHASA and Hemi-Kids
