My Chief Elf is home so Christmas has officially started. Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas however you’re doing it. 🌟 🎅🏻🎄

Widow's brain is real
Straight after Tim died, my head was full of fog. I felt disconnected from the world. And I think this was my brain protecting me from the awfulness of what had just happened. While the disconnection....

I’m at that age where I just follow what my son says 😂 The Underground in Italian was too much for me 😅 #Milan
This read is so horrendous but sadly unsurprising. ‘found that parent blame was not in the heads of families, but was built into the systems activated when parents sought support to enable their disabled children to live a good life.’

Yesterday I bumped into a former student at the barbers, with his PA. Then today I met another working at the local Co-Op. These incidental encounters might seem insignificant, but if you work with children with SLD/PMLD, seeing them purposefully engaged in their communities as adults is a real joy.
