So I have not been myself for several weeks. The holiday stress and overall challenges with supporting our daughter took a large part of my mental space. I was so grateful when my husband surprised me and said we are GOING on an adventure- abroad! I was elated to learn we were traveling to Italy. The country holds a special place in my heart and waking up in Rome was exactly what I needed. Regardless of the why or the excuse to get away-when you care for a loved one on the spectrum-it is absolutely essential to the soul to go on adventure and regroup! Thank you hubby for understanding that!
