Last night was the NARI Contractors of the Year (CotY) Awards Banquet. Ryan and I were invited. If you remember, NARI of Greater Charlotte is responsible for building the accessible bathroom for Ben. So Ryan and I got all dolled up and experienced the red carpet treatment with champagne, paparazzi and professional photos. It was a fantastic night out. Halfway into the program, they showed this video. Be sure to watch to the very end, even after the credits.
These stories describe our journey with Ben, our oldest son. Ben is a sweet and energetic redhead, born with Rett Syndrome, a rare genetic mutation. My husband, Ryan, and I try to keep up with Ben and his two younger brothers. I intend to shed insight into raising a child with disabilities and pass on the wisdom we’ve earned over the past two decades.
