speaking up - or not - who would you be?

I love it when my California friend is on my wavelength.  It is probably a good thing there are many miles in between Georgia and California. 

But the grocery store has been a thing of interests around here lately. 

And here is Heather's latest post on Miss Zoe's blog, which is awesome.  Worth watching every single second!  Seriously watch every second -

I wonder if they didn't speak up because they were so shocked and couldn't think of what to say?

I'm not making excuses for them...to not speak up may be as shameful as the rude treatment initiated.

However.....I would like to submit that through education and enlightenment, we can bring this kind of stuff out in the open, teach people to be aware of it and how to respond to it when it does happen.

I'm not sure we can irradicate rudeness but we can teach more people to deal with is more appropriately.

Didn't make me cry like many commenters on the other blog but it did make me feel dissapointment for our human race as a whole.

I sure made me cry... and then I was just plain mad. I sure hope that God would give me the words to say in that situation. Wasn't that actor (the bagger) fantastic!? I loved him!

And Sometimes Feeding Your Kiddo Looks Like This...

A simple sentence. No one said it to me in the beginning, but boy did that tube cause a lot of chaos. The NG tube graduated to the G-tube which morphed to a GJ- tube…. A brief history of Ivey's feeding tubes: *The NG tube was in place the first time I ever saw my daughter in the NICU.  My only memory of her without a feeding tube is them placing her in my arms immediately following her birth. *The G-tube, well, that is a story within itself.  That decision did not come lightly.  Another hole in her.  Another decision on our plate, but not really on our plate, it was apparent it was a medical necessity for her survival.  Literally to give her a chance to live.  A permanent decision.  A 5am panic attack in the Scottish Rite elevator that happened to coincide with Dr. Meyers arriving at the hospital at the same time as me.... Our intersection in the elevator set the stage for the years to follow. From that point on, he knew I was a little nuts and a lot...

Sibling Secret Sauce

Siblings of kiddos with disabilities are amazing humans walking amongst us. They live a life, most often, in the shadows of their sibling who simply needs "more". More time. More direct attention. More of more. We have now come to a fork in our road. Our boys are young men, and, our daughter is a young lady. I'll be honest, I was uncertain what life would look like once the boys left this home, once they had their own time, in their own personal sunshine. We found out quickly once Knox left for college his freshman year what that would look like. And then, when Walker left, we knew what life would feel like in their absence. There was too much space. Ivey felt it. We get many compliments about the relationship the boys and Ivey have with one another. Hints here and there that, maybe, Matt and I had some secret recipe to parenting a household with a child that is very medically complex and a very complex communicator. This is what I can tell you - there is no re...
