Today, I have no guest. Due to the craziness of our lives as special needs parents, I developed a hole in the SNSS guest post schedule. When this has happened before, (and it has) I was able to shuffle the schedule around or beg a speedy post from a kind and accommodating blogger.
But this week, I just couldn't do the hustle and scramble involved in that. Between being deep in summertime kid-ville and swamped by the job of getting the kids packed to go off to (first time!) sleep-away camp for a week tomorrow, I am slammed.
I decided this was the perfect opportunity for a look backwards, a chance to call attention to some wonderful earlier posts that some of you may have missed.
(Hey if every TV show on the planet can do a "clip-reel" episode and recycle their old shows, why not SNSS?)
So, this series has been running for five months now, and there have been twenty one Special Needs Sibling Saturday Guest Posts, plus my introduction to the series, Coming Soon: Special Needs Sibling Saturdays.
These are amazing, awesome posts here, and I am honored to have hosted them all. Some will make you laugh and some will make you cry. But all will touch you.
Come read, and if you've already read them all, come reread the ones that really spoke to you. We'll be back with a new post next week (and from the amazing Shell of Things I Can't Say). Until then? Read and enjoy.
I thought it might be useful to lay them out by category, to help folks find posts that might be specifically of interest to them. (Note: some posts may be listed more than once if they belong in multiple categories.)
