We need to talk about the future of our kids

July 14, 2012

I know it's hard to talk about the future. I realize that we get up everyday and

it's all we can do just to make it to the end of the day. And its scary as hell

to think about being old or being dead especially when you have a child with

disabilities. But we have to talk about the future. I have a 21 year old son. My

" future " is already here. It seems just like yesterday that he was little and

all I had to think about was what was there in the present. Before I turned

around, he was an adult. I've done some things to prepare for the inevitable

fact that one day I will not be there to care for him. I have a trust, life

insurance, guardianship, successor guardianship for when I'm gone. But it's not

enough. That's why I wrote my book. Through an easy read, fictionalized account

of a mother's journey to establish a secure future for her son, I hope I can

start a buzz so that we all start talking about our children's future. I didn't

write it to become rich. I make like a dollar a book. I wrote it so we can get

everyone talking about the future. Because only together can we figure it out.

Please read the book. It's only $2.99.
