Throughout the last 2 years my life has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, pride and disappointment. Somethings I have kept to myself and others I have shared openly with people. The one thing that I have kept to myself, with the exception of Jennie and Mom and Dad, is the fact that when I have to mark the box on Tanners paperwork that states he has a diagnoises of "MENTAL RETARDATION" about kills me.. I have come to grips with all his other diagnoises, but that gets me everytime...
I have decided once again to bite off more than I can chew.....
I want to start a Special Olympics team in Evanston.. It may take alot, but in the end I know it will be worth it..
I hope to share awareness of the need for special needs kids activities in our town.. It is a GREAT need in this area and after all the support that I found in Idaho I hope to be able to share it here.. If I cant do this I have to travel 40 miles to the "Valley" for Tanner to participate in sports. That I find hard to swollow. We can do this in Evanston I know we can!!!!!! There is no reason anyone with a special needs child should have to travel that far for their child to participate in something as awesome as SPECIAL OLYMPICS!!!!!
NOW TO SHARE THIS NEW "ADVENTURE" WITH PAUL....
WISH ME LUCK!!!!
