adapted and based on John Denver’s Lyrics to
“I Want To Live”
I lost a Deaf friend recently. He took his own life. Though he was in pain, he was a shining star — full of LIGHT, and so very LOVED!
He had choices. He just forgot.
This video clip below reminded me that even though the personal demons we wrestle may be many, we can find our way through the darkness and beyond. We have choices and we are never alone. Never.
How GREAT is the LOVE of our CREATOR…..
I miss you, my funny, happy-shiny-people friend.

As a Parent Educator, I often teach parents that just as a child goes through different ages and stages, parents will go through stages as well. Most parents start out in the usual way, as Dreamers and Planners, sharing hopes and dreams with each other and their families and friends of what their child might be like. They wonder about how their child will look, whose temperament or personality traits he or she will have, things they want to do with and tell and teach their child some day, and how they hope to raise their family. They envision connecting and sharing the world with their child, and passing on family heritage, culture and traditions.
