When my Limited Body Was No Match for the Limitless Love of my Daughter

February 8, 2017 by Lyllyan Blare Leave a Comment

When my Limited Body Was No Match for the Limitless Love of my Daughter

My daughter is only allowed to watch a small number of television shows (yes, I am one of those parents). One of her favorite shows is Paw Patrol; I don’t use the word favorite lightly – she owns Paw Patrol dolls, pajamas, figurines, vehicles, stickers and don’t forget the light-up tennis shoes!! Nearly 4 months […]

Why Play Dates Make Me Nervous

February 2, 2017 by Lyllyan Blare 2 Comments

Why Play Dates Make Me Nervous

My daughter is five and has quite the social life! She’s made many friends from various facets of her life and my life combined – school, church, sports and recovery meetings. She’s the type of child who writes an invite list to her birthday party that’s longer than her Christmas wishlist. Needless to say, she […]

Mother and Daughter – Same Disability, Different Experiences

Mother and Daughter – Same Disability, Different Experiences

Even though I am 52 years old, I do not think I have ever spent so much time pondering disability issues as I have since Emily, my daughter, started this blog. The conversations we have had before, during, and after she writes her posts have been illuminating and have further reinforced how her experiences growing […]

Living Life One Step at a Time with the Help of some Clever “Handi-Hacks”

July 5, 2016 by Ellen Ladau 1 Comment

Living Life One Step at a Time with the Help of some Clever “Handi-Hacks”

Seems like everyone is counting their steps these days as gizmos like Fitbit are all the rage.  Because my daughter and I share a rare orthopedic disorder, Larsen Syndrome, we have many limitations in our upper and lower extremities that greatly impact our daily “steps.”  Emily is a full time wheelchair user and I’m an […]

The Day I Dropped my Daughter on her Head

June 30, 2016 by Erin Andrews 1 Comment

The Day I Dropped my Daughter on her Head

All parents have days that are harder than others, and times when we do or say things we later regret. And kids have accidents – they fall learning to walk, they don’t make it to the potty, and they never think about safety first. As a disabled mom, I think about safety perhaps even more than other […]

The World is Yours

The World is Yours

Summer has started, and my daughter Scarlett’s first week out of Kindergarten is being spent at ballet camp. It’s the same camp we did last year, but the location has changed to a church in the middle of San Francisco. When I first heard that, I was enthusiastic. A church has to be accessible, right? […]

Donuts with Dad

Donuts with Dad

One of the benefits of living in our community is access to the most delicious treats-less than a quarter of a mile away. Sweet Sinsations is a bakery that my kids and I affectionately call, “the donut shop”. Since we have discovered this tasty palace of desserts, we have been hooked and keep on coming […]

She’s Like Me

June 15, 2016 by Chris Wylie Leave a Comment

She’s Like Me

Perhaps you’ve seen the video by now; a little girl receives a doll with a prosthetic leg and, upon opening, she is overcome with joy at this revelation.  The video closes with the now teary-eyed girl saying, “Thank you for making a doll like me.”  (I’ve included the YouTube video with captioning options below.) In […]

Relationship: My Problems with, Me Before You, as a Disabled Dad

May 31, 2016 by Chris Wylie 9 Comments

Relationship: My Problems with, Me Before You, as a Disabled Dad

Allow me to set the background for you. Me Before You is the story of a man who after becoming a quadriplegic, finds the prospect of living with disabilities so terrible, he decides to opt for euthanasia.  I would also like to add the character is wealthy because money always matters. A little bit about […]
