Hi everyone, I thought I would share an experience I had yesturday

that I've had anxiety about this since before Alissa was born. As

every parents biggest fear is " what's gonna happen to my child when

Im gone, who's gonna take care of them " , I couldn't get the fear out

of me so I deceided to book an appointment for a group locally that

house's adults who are deaf/blind only and assist them in everyday

living. Everyone thought I was nuts cause Alissa is only 2 and Im

about 20 years too early!LOL

Well, I was greeted by a new 18 year old deaf/blind resident who

rushed to the door and grabbed my hand and insisted on taking me for

a tour. He had my heart at hello. He was sooo sweet. The home was

nothing like I expected. It was a 2000 square foot older bungalow

with a huge back yard, a swing set, picnic tables, personalized

rooms. It was soo nice because there was only 3 people who could live

in the home at one time and it truely felt like a home away from

home. Its run by the ministry, and there standards are very high.

You could tell the most important thing to them was making this very

homey for the adults. It was complete freedom, no rules, just

assistance. Sometimes, group homes, organizations, government run

stuff often have these negative titles that come with them. It's not

always the case. Do your research, get familiar with the various

groups..... and worth seeing for yourself. I could tell that the

intervenors that were there assistanting these adults were sooo

dedicated, and passionate, and careing. I was a little nervous

about going at first because I thought...well what if I don't like

what I see??? Then what??? But I sooo didn't feel that way. I can

now sleep easy knowing there are organziations like this close to

home that Alissa would be well taken care of and her brothers could

keep a close eye on her.

I thank God, for giving me the courage, and strength to follow my

heart, and do what's best for my daughter, and every day Im amazed

on the journey he takes me on and how fulfilled my life is!
