I wanted to pay tribute to those special dads that go to IEPs and doctors appointments, give up their favorite foods to participate in a GF/CF diet, learn sign language, redesign the house to accommodate, and travel different roads. You will recognize them as the ones that have no vacation time because they've used it all for appointments. You will see them reading package ingredients in grocery stores. You will see anytime they are in a picture they are with their kids... hamming it up. When these dads speak of their child it is not of what their child can't do... it is with deep reverence for what they can do. It takes a special kind of manhood to embrace the challenges of parenting a child with special needs... a selflessness, unique courage and a quiet bravery. I applaud you.
