MEANING

By Dusty Sweeney
My name is Dusty Sweeney and today my life is millions of times better than it was. The time before talking really was hell. I was treated like I was cognitively impaired all my life. Then Judy burst into my life and everything changed. To learn is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. To have opportunities to make this life mean something is the most wonderful thing ever.

Miracle

Today I am sitting here writing a blog. That is my miracle. Just a few months ago I was in hell, spending my days in programs that were designed for the cognitively impaired. There was no hope. My parents didn’t really know me, and that was lonelier than I can say. 


When I walked into Judy’s office that first day it was like the sun came out. Who could have foreseen that on that day my entire life would change? The moment she put a board in front of me, my hand came under my control. WTF. It was insane. 

So here I am writing a blog and soon I’ll be in my poetry class studying Wordsworth. Miracles can happen.

Dusty - I know and love your Mom and met you at a lunch recently after a rally. I am so incredibly impressed by you, laughed out loud when you wrote "WTF" (get out of your Mom's head ;-) ), and am eager to read about your journey!

Dusty,
You are a beautiful person, and its a compliment when I say, you have always worn your heart on your sleeve. This has been my favorite thing about you. I was really touched to read your blog and to hear your voice! I miss being in the garden with you each week and I am super glad that you have found this opportunity to creatively write and advance in multiple studies. Everyone deserves a chance to be happy in their lives, so keep on keeping on, my friend! Best wishes to you!
