Parent to Parent: An Unspoken Bond

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is something magical when parents who share a similar circumstance get together.

Ensemble hosted it's first "Parent Empowerment" dinner last night to about 15 parents. I watched as each person arrived and I couldn't help but smile at what I saw. People who had never met immediately began to talk...as if they've known each other for many years.

It's amazing how a similar life experience can bond even complete strangers.

Jackie and I were so pleased to hear the chatter, the laughter and a few tears.

While we did a small workshop, the more important outcome were the relationships established that night and the sharing of ideas that I know will lead to some great things!
