I am happy to introduce Natasha and Justin. 

Through the years Natasha has been my right hand in so many ways. She loves children and has a magnetism that draws them to her. She loves to dance and to share that passion with others, but most of all, she loves Kurtis. 

I have had the joy of watching Natasha grow into a caring young adult with the ability to advocate for her brother when needed. 

Natasha is currently living on her own and is working in an entry level position at the same insurance company that Ali works for. Her career goal is to become a sign language interpreter.

Last but not least is Justin. I am so proud of my most recent Graduate. Justin has a diagnosis of Asperger’s and continually amazes us in so many ways. He has a wicked sense of humour. He challenges us at times beyond reason. He loves us with all his heart. A day without Justin is like a day without a roller coaster ride. 

Justin lives with his Dad in the same city we live in. 

While he waits for a seat to open up at the college for the course he wants to enrol in Justin works part-time at Silver City. Justin’s career choice is sign language interpreter. 

Well, there you have it. I often think we are a pretty dysfunctional group but then I look around and see that we are just a bunch of people trying to take each day as it comes and make the best of it. 

You can believe me when I say, “there is never a dull moment around here!”
