WELCOME!

Bridging our community of families with unique children is the ultimate challenge. We share a common lifestyle, perspective, understanding of the world. We share a vision and we are stronger for it. We may never prove how, or why, each of our children has been handed this life to lead....but it is now OUR world. Collectively, we have a choice to acknowledge it, survive it, celebrate it. Laugh or cry, it's OUR life to live...so build bridges to end isolation and join in the laughter. Welcome to Bridging Visions!

PONDERABLES

Do You Know...

how many children can fit on a wrap around sofa? That's right- One (whichever one gets there first)!

a remote control can be dropped hundreds of times and still function but, concealing it just once can guarantee that it will not be found again (to function) for days!

an employee with NO CHILDREN, at the satellite company, has it set up so that only one specific remote will work with it's own television

how long it takes a child to complete a spring break project...15 minutes maximum, then we realize it is far less painful to "assist", as our child watches(complaining about boredom)!

Do You Know...

a cell phone can fall from extraordinary heights and work fine but, run it through the washer and dryer just a few times and it's as if you've abused the technology!! (Go figure!)

placing clean clothes back into the dirty laundry hamper is a universal room cleaning technique for our children (who preach "recycling" and run "green" campaigns).

how futile it is to agonize for months over baby names and spend countless hours searching for what to call our legacy to all who came before. Just start where you will end...with a child called "Dude"!

my thoughtful fifteen year old only wants to learn to drive so he can rescue me! If there is ever an emergency and I am choking, he has pointed out the vital need for him to drive to bring help! SO thoughtful!!
