So sorry to hear about the death of your mom's partner. Death comes with so many complicated emotions and feelings. Holding space for all of you as you process all of the changes that this brings to your lives. A very soupy week here too. Mother's Day was a write off, although I did take myself out for a wonderful lunch. The following day the neurosurgeon informed us that he had no surgical options for my husband's constant facial nerve pain, so we continue to process that news and pray that my husband will get relief at some point. The long weekend was filled with good things though... On Friday we celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary and on Saturday we got together with my family to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. My younger son's best friend attends university two hours away, and his family lives six hours away, so they don't see each other very often, but since his friend happens to be student teaching in a small town just over an hour away he drove in to spend the long weekend at our place. It was so good for the two of them. I texted his mom and commented that except that the voices were deeper and that they can now take themselves out to buy their own snacks (and they eat way more!) the laughter and chatter coming from the basement was the same as it was of the little boys that played downstairs 10+ years ago. It really was exactly what my heart needed to hear. This week is extra busy as we're holding a Family Wellness Event next Tuesday in addition to our regular programming. I am super excited about the event and bringing together experts on various topics for parents/caregivers to talk to but also about surprising families with some special goodies and things that we haven't advertised. But this also means being nervous about pulling everything together! Off to the park this afternoon for outdoor programming and hoping the rain holds off!

Adult Chat and Q&A has been added to my calendar!

Hey Melissa! Glad to be connecting with you here too. Your commitment to The Big Heart Journey is inspiring. Hope you'll help me get back on track with certification!

Hi Veronique, Good to see you here. Looking forward to learning together with you.

Hi Frankie! What a great video! My boys always loved going to Splash 'N Boots concerts and getting to visit with Taes too. I'm so glad you're part of The Big Heart Journey.
