"If a hug represented how
much I love you; I would hold you in my arms forever"

We (Alice and I) started out back in 1985 with these two, Todd disabled and challenged and he had a whole different outlook on life. We went thru hospital after hospital and spent a lot of years in therapy.
Drew on the other hand, had energy to burn. Much of it. He was what we thought was not abnormal in any way - just that his challenge was to challenge us :). He was bored in school, wanted to be busy and started one day on roller blades went thru a few ramps, and ended up on an ice rink.
Both boys have had some
seriously tough knocks and have come out scratching their heads a
bit but Drew now has a son, Chase Andrew and Todd is learning how
to reinvent his own life and world. Their lives are both a work in
progress and we love them dearly.
