Making Lemonade...

It hurts a mom's heart to start the legal guardianship process on behalf of her special needs child. Mackenzie, age 17, will never be able to make her own medical decisions or attain adult independance, compliments of tuberous sclerosis complex. On the upside, there are angels who have paved our path for the past 17 years, making the special needs journey one of compassion, joy, and even a laugh or two. Case in point: Michele K. Goldberg--a lady who truly has our backs. Or more specifically, Mackenzie's back. Lemonade, anyone?
