Independence is built one sock, one shoe, and one victory at a time.

You need to take the journey to appreciate the destination.

I never needed him to be anything other than Lucas.

Every trip out is another step toward the independence my son deserves.

Lucas belongs in my world and I belong in his.

You don’t love your kids because they can drive – that would be weird.

Even if he could, I know he never would.

Simply put, I never feel more loved than I do with Lucas.

Every child is unique, and your instincts should trump blind obedience.

It’s my favorite moment of my week.
