October is SB Awareness Month

Spina Bifida Awareness:  You should be aware that having a child with SB may cause increased motivation to help others, a newfound perspective in times of trial, a desire to enjoy the little things, and a commitment to change the way the world defines "disability."  Studies show that raising a child with SB will induce strong feelings of gratitude for even the simplest of milestones and produce a willingness to do anything, talk to anyone, try any method necessary to make life better for your child.  Side effects include feelings of worry, fear, uncertainty, and anger but are tempered with love, faith, determination, and hope.  Having a child with SB is not easy... but loving one is!!

 In case anyone was not AWARE, we love our Brookie Brook to bits.  :) 
Happy SB Awareness month to all!
