"Judgement Not Allowed"

This past weekend was the 3rd Annual CP Inspires Expo. There was tons of work put into making the event successful but even I didn't realize just how inspiring the day would be. I was able to meet a lot of other parents of special needs children. I met new vendors and caught up with many I already knew. 

That evening there was a performance by Handicap This! I was so moved by their story. Mike Berkson and Tim Wambach share the journey of their friendship. 

There were tears and laughter and somehow they perfected the balance of each. Every person should see them. I was fortunate enough to talk to them after the show. Even more fortunate to talk to Mike's father. To hear the hardships that both Mike and his family shared really hit home. His Dad said some parents step up and some don't. Those that do should never give up hope. We also laughed that once you become a special needs parent you can tell it when one walks into a room. That is such a true statement. 

 I am so honored to say- I pledge to "keep on, keeping on." I will never give up! I encourage everyone to look these two up. You are sure to be inspired.
