Laugh at that, take it calmly as the blips come, and enjoy that you are in control and could make this happen.<br /><br />I so wish I could see! YOu wouldn't consider a remote internet feed, would you? The whole idea makes me smile.<br /><br />AliciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-50137587974875550802015-06-04T08:04:35.222-04:002015-06-04T08:04:35.222-04:00^^^ Can I just "ditto" Mary?

Thanks for bringing those of us out here up short, and allowing us (well, me...I shouldn't speak for anyone else) pause and time to check my own stuff.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219811024251806686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-88407203666466297332015-06-04T06:18:18.994-04:002015-06-04T06:18:18.994-04:00I do see your point.
I feel I should remind you, ...I do see your point.<br /><br />I feel I should remind you, however, that your lifetime's work is part of what made it possible for this person to talk to someone about their wish to go to your wedding, and to constructively identify the adjustment that would enable them to go. Also to identify that although they did not have the confidence to ask directly, they could ask their support worker to support them by asking on their behalf.<br /><br />Your lifetime's work is part of what ensured that neither the person NOR the support worker would completely automatically just assume that they would be barred and that there was no point in asking at all.<br /><br />Yes, it was hard for them to ask, harder than it should have been, and I agree there is a way to go. But a way has been travelled already, too. It's a journey in progress, not one which is yet to be embarked upon.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639094548415759560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-66896136047913146922015-06-04T05:38:15.997-04:002015-06-04T05:38:15.997-04:00You are right.

But it can only be done by people seeing the problem, willing to take the effort to change and all the while educating others.<br /><br />Thats what you do with your blog (with you being you) every day.<br /><br />Some people carry this kind of willingness with them.<br /><br />Thank you <br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
