This blog is basically a diary, journal, and notes of observations. It deals mostly with the topics of special needs, especially a real view of what life is like with (and for) a teen with Down syndrome. Additional topics are interpersonal relationships, life in Israel, and dieting. Also an occaisional get-on-a-soapbox-and-tell-it-like-it-is personal opinion.
Who am I?

I am a parent,of teens and teens+, including a "special-needs" child of fifteen. I have worked as a nurse (mostly in psychiatry),and am grossly overweight (and detirmined to change that!). I am an American living in Israel at present. I am addicted to reading, and love music, writing, and the observing G-d's world. The wings I feel that I am under are the sheltering wings of G-d. I am an observant Jew.
"Ricki", my daughter(age 15), has Down syndrome, ADHD, moderate hearing loss(compensated with a hearing aid), and a very spunkey personality.
