Here it is:

the t-shirt post

We all sat and thought about it, our membership of
this club, this T18 club. Of SOFT, the listserve, the
message boards. Normally when you join a club its
because you want to. You pay your subscription, get
the t-shirts and 
the bumper stickers and tell your friends. Who signed
us up for this 
club? I certainly didnt. Its a membership of a club
you never wanted to be 
in, and Im sure most of us wanted to hand those
tshirts straight back 
and ask for a refund. Say no thanks and it would all
go away. 
 
 But this club has brought me into contact with some
of the most 
special mothers and children in the world.
Some children who defy medical convention and fight
tooth and nail not 
just to live, but to achieve.
Mothers who act as advocates for their children in a
world that would 
rather ignore disability and
difference and pretend it doesnt happen. Mothers who
suffer the grief 
and loss of losing a child, and still hold their
families together, hold 
down good jobs and move forwards in their lives. 
So I think all in all, I will be keeping my tshirt. I
never knew such 
humanity until I joined this club. I never knew people
could care about 
others they did now know. I never knew what could be
achieved with a 
little effort. I never knew the friendship and love
that can blossom from 
tragedy. 

For each of you just joining our little club, these
are the rainbows after the clouds clear, when the sun
shines a little 
again. If I can do this, so can you.
There are enough people around here to look after you,
I promise. 
 
Love
