Well, we got to get away for a few hours this morning while S was with her dayhab provider, so we went down to check out the race.
I was watching for my kayaking buddy and his buddy, but didn’t see them and we couldn’t stay for the whole thing because we had to get back for S by a certain time. We froze our asses off but not as much as the race participants. We found a great spot to watch from and saw a few canoes dump. I’d love to do this race, but dang it’s frigid in April. Unfortunately, this is also when the water is highest and later in the season, the water is so low it’s pretty much no longer passable. Here are a few pics:

It isn't easy being the parent of a child with special needs (youngest of three kids), let alone being in my mid - 40's. I have my ups and downs. I try to do all I can for her but I’ve put my life and goals on hold several times and I’ve realized I have to do things for myself to be the best I can be for her. I have times when I feel like she is the best thing in my life because she taught me unconditional love and patience. But I also go through bouts of feeling like a wedge has been placed between myself and my dreams and I feel hopeless. These are some of my thoughts, goals, achievements, rants and breakdowns as Sarah’s mom.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom
-Maya Angelou
