I had not realized so much time had passed since my last post - not doing a great job this year of blogging every day for the month of October.
Just a quick post tonight to encourage you to read this story and click on some of the links. Some of you may have heard of the "Campaign to end the R-Word". Basically, it is a campaign started by families of people with Ds to stop the use of this word. One of my favourite blogs, Bringing the Sunshine, has several posts on this topic. If you ever hear anyone use that word, please politely explain that it is hurtful and a real put down to a very vulnerable and undeserving group of people. There is no excuse for using that word!
