As the holidays are now in full swing I wish to extend my most joyous hope that we all have happy, healthy and jubilant days ahead. I know these days are often our darkest (both figuratively and literally) but we need to keep our hearts open to hope and love.
Most of us have faced struggles this year that we never imagined when we embarked on this adventure of parenting. I doubt my family would have survived without the help, support and guidance I received from the other struggling parents here. The way we step outside ourselves to help each other, to me, is in keeping with the true nature of Christmas. Thank you for the gift you have given to me and each other. May we continue to find strength and determination in the new year!

, I felt so blessed. There were so very many bleak Christmases when I leaned on the board members heavily for the strength to just get thru those days. I honestly couldn't imagine a day when my family would all be together again, happily, celebrating the holiday.
