"A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." Jackie Robinson, first black baseball player in the national league.

Any time there's a gap in posts, you can be sure there are three or four drafts that didn't get published.

If the ideas expressed are  too depressing ,I am not inclined to share . Everybody has  stuffto cope with.

I am working on Heather to write a blog about the ongoing story of having a  baby, a boy,now a man like Adam in the family. We didn't have social media when he was born. He will soon be thirty years old.

Adam is Heather and Andy's first born. Two brothers and a sister  followed so he has always been there as older brother.

When  brother Aaron was about twelve he  had to teach a teacher. An assigned  essay was  handed in. The  teacher took it upon herself to make a correction. Teacher  learned something from  student
that day.

Aaron has many fine qualities I  particularly admire.

This journey has been on-going learning experience for all of ua. Adam has been our teacher.
He continues  to amaze and entertain .The day he was born he contradicted  conventional wisdom
and has been doing it ever since.

But social media allows so much to be shared. Many new parents do not know what to expect and
social supports provided is often informed by text books.Themselves  limited by the mindset of an author without the experience of a family.

As parents, Heather and Andy have quietly, steadily and persistently worked to make a difference in the lives of their children. They kept the faith and pioneered. They found hope, encouragement and success all along the way.

It may not be the same everywhere .  The experience needs to be shared for the greatest benefit

Adam's thirtieth birthday is at the end of May.

A good time to launch a  Blog
