In the Embrace of Park City

Writing and sharing with you that my sister Jessie was discharged from the hospital and is home recovering from her stroke.  She is making slow progress and we are gathering the strength, heart thoughts and perspectives many of you sent along to help cheer her on during the next several months of the healing process.  Holding her and you all in my arms...in my heart. You make a difference.

A few photos from life lately....in the embrace of Park City, Utah......


The National Ability Center, affectionally referred to as the NAC by Park City locals, makes us think how as a parent of a special needs kiddo, you can lament or you can spend your time reflecting on how it can make your life richer.  It's become an important part of keeping myself grounded.  

For many people with special powers, the NAC is their safe place....family members and individuals with different abilities alike, but mostly for the adaptive skier.  It is a powerful and awe-some experience to see firsthand the NAC's encouragement of a barrier-free activity for people of all ages and from all walks of life. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to spend time as a family in the nurturing, supportive arms of the NAC.
Realizing that for this individual, it was his safe place....the NAC!

"We love the people that we love, because they are there for us when we feel like we can't face life alone and they remind us that we don't need to face life alone! We love the people that we love, because we know that when we cry, it hurts them, too. We love the people that we love because we share mutually in tears and in pains and in struggles and in hardships, and we know that because we are together, we can get through that— together! Because of the people we love, life becomes livable! Because of the people we love, we know that we have people to share with in not just the good parts of life; but in the hardships, as well! We will never have to carry our burdens alone, because these people love us!" - C. Joybell C.
