Hope is the thing that is willing to take a chance on the future. Hope is the capacity to see something on the horizon that we are willing to move toward. If our hope gets us from today to tomorrow, and in that new day we are ready or able to deal with something we thought we couldn’t face, then hope has done its job. There is a worse thing than false hope. It is no hope.
Notwithstanding the fact that I've sworn off reading "special needs blogs" - this essay written by the father of a child who is severely developmentally delayed is an excellent read, in my opinion.
The Absence of Normal Frees Us
Thank you for riding along with us on our journey.

Beautifully written Ann, thanks for sharing.
I am Canadian and I've read Ian Brown's book about his son. His writing is amazing.
Thanks for the info Anonymous! I ordered Ian Brown's book tonight. I'm looking forward to reading it.
