STAND UP BE SEEN, SPEAK UP TO BE HEARD

NEVER LET PRIDE BE YOUR GUIDING PRINCIPAL. LET YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. DID YOU KNOW THE THREE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS TO SAY ARE: I LOVE YOU, SORRY AND HELP ME. DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU HELP SOMEONE, THE HELP IS RETURNED TWO-FOLD? DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE, LIKE DILLYSPLACE, IF YOU ASK FOR IT BY FAITH AND IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE, YOU'D BE SURPRISED BY WHAT YOU CAN DO.. ALSO WITH ALOT OF HARD WORK. DYLAN'S MOTHER CRYSTAL IS MY HERO. SHE IS A SINGLE MOTHER, 80% OF MARRIED COULPLE WITH A DISABLED CHILD GET DIVORCED. CRYSTAL HAS NO HELP AT ALL EXCEPT FOR CHLOE, HER DAD AND I. PLEASE KEEP MY HERO IN YOUR PRAYERS. SHE DESERVES EVERYTHING GOOD THAT COMES HER WAY. APPRICIATE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TODAY. LIVE FOR TODAY, DON'T WORY ABOUT YESTERDAY OR TOMORROW. GOD IS GOOD.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH AND YOUR CHILD THREW YOUR CAR IN REVERSE?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR CHILD GOT OUT OF THEIR SEAT BELT WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING AND WAS MOVING AROUND IN THE CAR?
WHAT IF YOUR CHILD ROAD ON THE BUS WITH OTHER CHILDREN WOULDN'T YOU WANT _EVERYONE TO BE SAFE?
WHAT IF YOU GOT YOUR KID ON THE BUS, JUMPED IN THE SHOWER, HEARD THE BUSES HORN. HAD TO GET OUT OF THE SHOWER, WRAP YOURSELF IN A TOWEL AND RUN OUT AND GET YOUR CHILD OFF THE BUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER SAID IT WASN'T SAFE FOR ANYONE.
WOULD YOU WANT A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL TO HELP THE BUS DRIVER AND THE OTHER OCCUPANTS TO STAY SAFE.?
WHAT IF YOU HAD AN INDIVIDUALE EDUCATION PLAN(IEP) THAT REQUIRES A BUS PARA WITH YOUR CHILD BUT THE LAWS OF THE IEP WERE NOT BEING FOLLOWED? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? THESE ARE SOME THINGS THAT CRYSTAL HAS DEALT WITH OR IS DEALING WITH.

DYLAN'S TEACHERS.

I HAVE NEVER MET MORE COMPATIONATE WOMEN AS DYLAN'S TEACHERS. I KN OW DYLAN FEELS THE LOVE COME THROUGH THEM TO HIM. HIS TEACHERS NEED A BREAK, BUT I WISH HE COULD GO TO SCHOOL YEAR ROUND. IT SEEMS LIKE, WHEN HE GETS OFF OF HIS SCHEDUALE HE HAS A HARDER TIME. IF YOU KNOW A TEACHER, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY TEACH SPECIAL ED OR NOT,GIVE THEM A HUG AND TELL THEM THANK YOU. SOME TEACHERS SPEND MORE TIME WITH THE KIDS THAN THEIR PARENTS.

DYLAN'S HERE FOR A REASON

WE NEVER KNOW WHAT EACH DAY BRINGS WITH DYLAN... OK GUYS I WILL TELL YOU WHAT MY DAY WITH DYLAN WAS REALLY LIKE. IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH DON'T READ THIS ONE. WE WATCHED DYLAN THE DAY OF CRYSTAL'S GALLERY OPENING FOR HER PRE -SCHOOL.DYLAN HAD A GREAT DAY, HE EVEN WENT TO POOP ON HIS OWN;)YEA! MARK WENT INTO THE BATHROOM TO CHECK ON DYLAN AND HE WAS TRYING TO WIPE. HE WENT OVER TO HELP HIM. WELLLLLLL MY NEPHEW WAS COMING HOME FROM IRAQ AND THEY CHANGED HIS TIME SO I JUMPED IN THE SHOWER , GOT OUT AND NOTICED A TOWEL WADDED UP ON THE CLEAN TOWELS. I FIGURED SOMEONE DYED THEIR HANDS WITH IT. I PICKED IT UP AND STARTED TO DRY MYSELF OFF WITH IT. WHEN IT GOT TO MY FACE I SMELLED SOMETHING. DYLAN HAD TRIED TO WIPE HIMSELF WITH IT. MARK THOUGHT THIS WAS SOOOO FUNNY. I TOLD DYLAN HE WAS LUCKY GRANDMA LOVED HIM. THIS WAS NOT WITTEN ON HERE TO HUMILIATE DYLAN OR GROSS ANYONE OUT BUT TO BE HONEST AND TELL YOU THAT THEIR ARE ALOT OF THINGS YOU DEAL WITH WHEN YOU HAVE A DISABILED KID OR GRANDKID. IT'S FUNNY NOW. NOT ALOT OF PEOPLE WOULD ADMIT TO THIS BUT THIS IS OUR LIFE. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE THE ONE DRYING OFFF? 80% OF COUPLES DIVORCE BECAUSE SOMEONE CAN'T HANDLE THE PROBLEMS WITH A DISABLED KID. GOD SENT DYLAN HERE FOR A REASON! AND WE ARE BETTER PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIM. LET'S HELP DYLAN FORFILL HIS MISSION ON EARTH BUT IN THE MEANTIME PRAY FOR CRYSTAL, DYLAN AND CHLOE.
