In the wake of the Boston Marathon tragedy, Mr Rogers tells a story about the wisdom his mother shared with him when he was growing up.  Her advice was: ” when you are in the midst of something scary or tragic, always look for the helpers….  Because when you find the helpers, you will know there is hope.”  I love this sentiment because it reminds me of how I managed to take care of Leta for the last 16 years.  Her dad and I showed up every day, but it was the endless army of helpers that always showed up just when Leta was at her sickest or needed extra love and support.  Leta has brought some amazing people into our life that we would never have known if it were not for her.  So thank you to Mylene, Ericka, Gail, Becky, Linda, Lynette, Jeanine, Rosie, Nora, Narkie, Kim, Guy, Annie, Bernie, Ashley, Nikki, Kenny, Veronica, Sarah, Darlene,  and so many others that have made a difference in Leta’s life so far…….You are all helpers, healers and heroes to us.
