She is a fighter, not of guts and glory, but one of understated grace.

Well, Ashlynn completed Kindergarten.  It was pretty anti-climactic to be honest.  For some reason, her school doesn’t believe in Kindergarten graduations.  Okay, it’s not for “some reason,” it’s because the philosophy of the school is that graduations signify an end and Kindergarten is just a beginning. I get it…kind of.  Actually no, I don’t get it at all.  If that were the case, we wouldn’t celebrate any graduation because technically

Our kids need to meet others just like them.

This 4th Annual Apraxia Awareness day (it was trending, did you hear?), I organized a fundraiser at a local Chipotle to benefit the Walk for Childhood Apraxia of Speech.  I have a HUGE goal of 30K.  The walk last year made 16K, so basically I set this goal to double that.

Why I’m angry and even more passionate as we approach the 4th annual Apraxia Awareness Day.

I love Apraxia Awareness Day, ever since I celebrated my first one when Ashlynn was new to the dx.  It’s always a time of excitement, renewed hope and resolve, support, and community who comes together filling up facebook and my newsfeed with their apraxia fighters. I’ve been honest and open about telling my own early experience with apraxia, which wasn’t much.  I’ve been the first one to admit I barely
