What other People Say About Veronika Last year I came across a resource called “What I’d Like You to Know About Me” or “About Me” for short. I was offered to opportunity to create one

Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou….No really THANKYOU. Oh my goodness, What a week. What started our as my latest blog post, about my little project, to get Veronika a hydrotherapy spa, to give her every chance to
Today was the last day of school for the year, the last day of grade 1. It’s been a tough year as you know.
I knew Veronika had missed ‘a lot’ of school this year, following her surgery, and when her school report came home…..as the saying goes
‘When it’s written, it’s real…’
Seeing it written just how much school Veronika had missed this year, over 100 days….there in black and white.
I have had people ask if Veronika would repeat grade 1, which I can honestly say the thought hadn’t crossed my mind until I was asked the first time. No she won’t be repeating grade 1, she will go into grade 2 with her peers and we are blessed Veronika will have the teacher she had this year for grade 2 next year.
Looking at how much school Veronika missed this year, one could easily say #cerebralpalsysucks or #surgerysucks or complications from surgery that meant my girl took a lot longer to return to school sucks…..or one could say ‘it is what it is’ and look forward to grade 2 in 2016….
….because I have met friends on this journey who would give anything to have their child still with them, and have the opportunity to go to school, not to have grown their angel wings.
Those things we take for granted….
