Did you know that if your child (or you) has a permanent disability you can get an Access Pass that allows you to enter all National Parks for free? Thanks for letting me know, @littlekels1 ! Google "National Parks Access Park".
Today was a hard day. As a parent, when your child is struggling, you struggle. For parents of children with complex medical needs and neurodivergence these days come more often. But we keep putting one foot in front of another because we have no other choice. Not because we are inherently stronger than other people or because we were somehow "chosen" to play this role. To all the caregivers out there holding it together for their kids, I see you. ❤️
