Trying to outsmart my almost 24 year old son with Down syndrome has become my obsession. Yes, I realize that this might be considered a twisted issue, but no one ever accused me of operating with a full deck. Bailey is constantly keeping me on my game. At this point,...

Change is inevitable. My only roadblock is when I resist it. I have learned that change often leads me to an unexpected destination and acceptance doesn't mean I like it. We have been in a flurry of transition. For me, it means that life is progressing and that if I...
