Hi Vanessa,
Just heard about Emmy today from Pam through the therapists. In a way I feel like I abandoned you and Emmy but know that I think about you often and frequently view the videos you sent me. If there is anything you need don’t hesitate to call,email or text me. Emmy is a strong little girl and stubborn too if i remember correctly. I believe in my heart she will get through this and will keep her, you and the rest of the family in my thoughts and prayers
Sue, so glad you found my blog! No, you didn’t abandon us at all. 🙂 We’ll see you very soon when Emmy gets better. Her stubborn spirit is definitely helping her through. -Vanessa
Hi Vanessa,
I just read your post on Tiny Buddha. I loved the story of the little girl who didn’t give up and your writing style. Thank you for sharing it. A part of me thought, “A recovering perfectionist with a child with special needs. Hmmm. Can the Universe have set it up better?” 😉
Blessings,

Banu,
Thanks for checking out my blog! You’re right — the Universe set it up perfectly. 🙂

Hi Vanessa,
What a fabulous story in Tiny Buddha about the little girl trying to climb the playground wall. It made me cry and was hugely impactful. Thank you.
Love
Andrew
Thank you, Andrew! That means a lot to me. -Vanessa
I am so happy Emmy is home. It was very rewarding to see her come so far these past few weeks. You guys are wonderful, keep up the good work, she would not be where she is today without the love and dedication you have given her. Best wishes to all of you, keep us updated of her progress!!!
God Bless
Cara
Thank you for everything, Cara!! I am so, so thankful for the wonderful care that Emmy received. You all are the BEST!! xoxo -Vanessa
Hi Vanessa – This is Linda Fitzgerald, Megan’s mom. I read your articles and they brought happy tears to my eyes. I work in a school that is the district magnet school for special needs kids – some very severe – and I also get such joy when I see a Down’s syndrome child smile or other special needs kids laugh and giggle. It makes my day. Your daughter is beautiful. Your writing is sublime and unique in its voice. I would like to share the article with my co-workers and some parents if that is ok with you. Keep writing….
Linda
Thank you for visiting my blog! I’m so touched to hear about your experiences with kids with special needs. I probably wouldn’t have ventured into the world of special needs if it hadn’t been for Emmy, and I am SO thankful that she brought me here. Of course, please feel free to share the article. Thank you!
Vanessa
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you ALL!!
No posts for a long time. Hoping no problems. Happy Halloween to you all.
So glad you (all) are still with us. You are a strong and couragous person, and an inspiration to all your ‘fans’.
Hi Vanessa,
Just thinking about you, how is everything going? Wishing you and your family all the best 🙂
