In the morning the cucumbers looked the same, but no longer tasted the same. We cut up garlic and dill and red peppers, and boiled vinegar, salt and water with pickling spices. We packed sterilized jars tightly with our beautiful bright green cucumbers and poured on the brine. Then we sealed the jars and boiled them 20 minutes in a hot water bath. And I thought THIS IS WHAT we have done to these children.
Today is a day of advancement.
Growing up with FAS is a community process and it takes a united community to raise these children. And what a storm they set off. They mobilized and motivated individuals from around the globe. From New Zealand to Alaska people have united. These children are teachable, lovable, creative and energetic but they do not learn like other children.
