WELCOME

Among those of us who care deeply for and about people with developmental disabilities, I hope to hear emerge a new voice, ours, rising together for the benefit of all, harmonizing with reason, respect and hope, and transcending divisions, giving birth to a new era of creative cooperation.

Toward this potential, DD EXCHANGE is for conversation, civil sounding off, sharing of stories, experience, information, resources, and inspiration, giving and receiving support, and creative problem solving.

My Dear Kathy Has Passed Away

     Sadly,  my dear sister, Kathy, passed away last October.  She was very ill for several months before she died.
     Well before her illness was apparent, the demands of her guardianship were becoming progressively more intense.  Since then, I've needed time away from DD issues, time to heal my heart and re-orient to matters so long left unattended in my personal life.  I'm still passionate about the needs of individuals with DD as well as their families; but so far,  I can't seem to involve myself without feeling consumed and needing to  pull back again.  I do look forward to a day when that will not be so.  
     But, at least, this evening, I find it possible to write this much. Later, when I'm more together, I may revisit this post with more about Kathy.  For now, though, it least provides a little explanation and allows for new posts.
