These 2 videos changed my life....

I will get to a writing post very soon, but I had to share two videos that have changed me in a profound way. In the first video, you will get to know a remarkable lady in our community. I have stood next to and talked to her numerous times, but have never gotten up the courage to tell her how her Ted Talk changed my life. Madeline is a dancer in her program and she absolutely loves it. It's one thing to admire to a program that does amazing things, but it's a whole other thing to experience the true love that comes from every.single.member of that team. We are so grateful for Debra and her love for those who have special needs. My new motto: Normal - it's a dryer setting. 

This next video was produced by Merrimack and includes Madeline's dance teacher from last year. This is a beautiful dance interpretation of Welcome to Holland - a poem that resonated with me as I first found out Madeline had autism. (Get the tissues)
