what i wish for

*

It’s my birthday. And though I’m not exactly thrilled (she said, for once understating a situation dramatically) about turning another year older, I’m choosing to embrace the day.

Why? Cause it’s mine, damn it. And I get to be the queen today. (Just ask me; I’ll tell you.)

And besides, nothing eases the blow of getting really damn old like pretending not to care and embracing the celebration.

So to that end, I thought I’d put together a little list for anyone who, ya know, might want to get me a little something today.

I thought about this ..

1 Sherburne Way Spectacular in every way. This newly constructed Nantucket summer home is quintessent…more Area: Cliff Price: $23,700,000 Bedrooms: 5 Listed by: Maury People Sotheby´s International Realty More Information

But decided that for $23 million dollars, I’d really like a pool.

I thought about these ..

But I really wasn’t sure what I’d wear with them.

I thought about this ..

But I just don’t think that mucking stalls is for me. (See the shoes above).

I even toyed with this ..

But I didn’t know how to get a hold of him love my husband too much to ever think of something like that.

And then I thought of this ..

And I knew immediately what I really wanted for my birthday.

To make a difference.

To ease the path for my girl and so many like her who struggle with autism’s challenges.

To help find answers.

To change lives.

That’s what I’m asking for today.

Because every child deserves the chance to push past the limits of his or her potential.

Because we ALL deserve a world in which these amazing people are full participants.

Because we still have so many more questions than answers. 

Because the answers change lives. 

Because given the right tools, there is nothing – NOTHING – that my baby can’t do. 

Because for the first time in my life, I have no choice but to ask for your help. 

Because we can’t do this alone. 

Please give what you can. 

Because every dollar makes a difference in the lives of children like mine. 

From the bottom of my heart,

Thank you.
