The Joke Was On Me!

I had a wedding to go to last night, of the daughter of a former neighbor. I suspected that she would not recognize me, but she did at first glance. (Actually this is not surprising, as she knew me in one of my relative lighter periods, not when I weighed 150 kilos!)

BUT I DID NOT RECOGNIZE HER!!! SHE has lost a lot herself! I am so happy for her!

A description of this blog

This blog is basically a diary, journal, and notes of observations. In the past it dealt mostly with the topics of special needs, especially a real view of what life is like with (and for) a teen with Down syndrome. However, since Ricki's death in August 2012, at age 17, the amount of blogging on the subject of "special needs" has decreased. Additional topics are interpersonal relationships, life in Israel, and dieting. (I have lost 75 kilos...)(And no, I did NOT have weight-loss surgery....) Also an occasional get-on-a-soapbox-and-tell-it-like-it-is personal opinion.
