My friend Rebecca sent this link to me:  Young Boy Reaches Out It is a great story about a sibling helping his brother who has special needs run a race. The Letter

Many heated arguments, comments and posts began when Disney announced that they wer changing their policy for guests with special needs. Once again a rule must be made because a few fools abused the system and ruined it for the people who truly need the service. My hope is that Disney responds to the uproar by designing a program that deters people from committing fraud and requires medical documentation for those who actually need the service. Here is one blog post from another mom - I like her spunk, but I also like her bigger picture view of this situation: Why We Aren't Entitled CNN has an article on line:  Disney Disabilty Policy Changes

My usual roost for writing. Four years ago, I started this blog. I don't remember all the details now, but I do know I wrote a " note " on Facebook about toileting in August 2009 and then had a conversation with a neighbor about writing and blogging. With a lot of trepidation and a little bit of courage, I decided to try it . The title, eSpecially Ben, came to me that very evening. Thank you to eSpeciallyBen loyal readers and followers. I love your comments, emails and likes - they keep me going. The support is phenomenal, the connections are uplifting and the writing is cathartic.  I know I am learning something in the process and hoping I pass on hard-earned knowledge to other families. So pick up your virtual glass of your favorite beverage and clink it to the screen...Cheers! My inspiration.
