Becoming Superfluous

Today, at Support for Special Needs:
I know now that Schuyler can make it without me, and probably even thrive. I understand in a way that has perhaps eluded me before now that if something were to happen to me, if I were to be run down by a train or crushed by an errant piece of some uninspected airliner falling from the sky, Schuyler would be taken care of. More importantly, she would be on the road to taking care of herself.

Hi there Rob. Wonder what exactly happened today that made you know this. I just finished your book. Good to read. i too have a non-verbal daughter. She is three. I am now looking into current Ipad apps. to see about getting her for starting communication. Glad things are out there now that aren't $7000! Not meant meanly, there are quite a few options now. Kind of overwhelming. We shall see. Thanks for writing. BTW I too hate that lovely Holland Poem given to me or emailed to me. Take care
