| Publisher Description: My book is written by my mother, who communicated with me successfully in ways not even we understood. Since I was nonverbal and had other developmental disabilities from birth, I could never express my thoughts or wishes in words. My mother worked a job and cared for me by herself since my father was killed when I was a baby. After my father's death, we moved to Chapel Hill-Carrboro, NC where excellent social services, medical services, psychological services, and educational services are available. Through the school system and other agencies there, I was involved in many programs and services. We were blessed to have caring people and services available to make our life together possible in a home setting where we had friends and family nearby. She cared for me at home until I was an adult, and then I lived in a group home and later a facility where she visited me regularly. My mother is also limited in some abilities, but never let that hinder her persistent pursuit of best care and experiences available to help me become the best VJ. |
