I’m going to let my husband speak, for a change. Just a few of the many things I love about him: his sharp mind, his brilliant writing and his fierce devotion to our family.
Life is hard. And love especially. “All we can do is offer up everything we’ve got, meager as it may be and shrinking by the day, and hope that it’s enough.”

For Christie
On the 23rd anniversary of our first date, you asked me if I would’ve asked you if I’d known what would follow.
You didn’t mean the good stuff: the romance and the adventure and the four wonderful kids and the triumphs and the building of a life together.

I am certain there are hundreds if not more people around the world who are mortified to see that any child -whatever their physical ability could be used by Genoma to promote what is nothing less than a form of eugenics – your daughter is unique and I urge you not only to start an online campaign letter to the CEO of the company but to sue them for using not only yours but ANY photograph of a child living. This is utterly despicable and immoral behaviour and they need to be held accountable for the trauma and hurt you are having to endure as a result.
