I really love the points that were made - especially regarding whether we want Loveland to sacrifice the charm for speed.

“I can’t die.” It is a statement I hear with increasing frequency in counseling sessions with parents of adult children with autism and other developmental disabilities (DD). It is not said for dramatic effect. It is not metaphorical. It is an expression of profound fear—an acknowledgment that, in the absence of reliable long-term systems of care, many parents believe their continued survival is the only safeguard their child has

A Valentine Lady is a woman who has distinguished herself by her commitment and involvement in the community, and like a Marine … once a Valentine Lady, ALWAYS a Valentine Lady.
