An apology and an explanation

Well, we're back.  we have been gone for over a year and half.  First, I want to apologize for literally falling off the face of the planet. To be truthful, as much as I wanted to think that we had worked through the shock of Little Bug's Autism diagnosis and we doing alright, we weren't.

Nick and I went through a very dark patch last April- almost to the point of separating.  We needed to focus on us and on our family.  It felt like Autism and Little Bug had become this all consuming thing where we literally couldn't be anything but parents of a special needs child. It was daunting.  

We needed to learn balance. We were at a point where every conversation was about this. We never had time alone.  We never followed through with any of our interests.  Everything was Little Bug. We needed to learn how to prioritize.  We needed to learn how to truly accept- ourselves, our imperfections, our weaknesses, and our successes.

Now, having taken the long break that we needed, I am back and ready to blog.  It has been a whirlwind 18 months.  I can't wait to share them with you.
