I have in my reader 5minutesforspecialneeds a blog I read daily. Initially I found this community blog via mythreeringcircus a blog beautifully written, which makes me both laugh & cry, often in the same post. I have Veronica to thank at somedaywewillsleep a fellow EDSer for her blog roll otherwise I would never have had the opportunity to read these blogs written from the otherside of the world.
I was so saddened to read that Anissa has suffered a massive stroke.. 5 minutes for special needs is a site which I visit to remind me that remaining positive in adversity is the single most important factor when one is having a day that seems impossible to get through. Put simply it is inspiring as are the blogs associated with it. I have dedicated this post to Anissa & her family. I know that I do not know them personally but through the internet I have been able to follow their story.
Anissa fought her daughter’s cancer at Hope4Peyton, & she celebrates their cancer-free life at Free Anissa & provides the blogosphere with laughter at Aiming Low. Anissa has worked I read at 5minutesforspecial needs for a long time behind the scenes.
I don't know whether when I say I am thinking of Anissa constitutes as prayer & that all the individuals collectively thinking of Alissa & her family will help, I can only hope with all my heart that it will. So if you are reading this post, please could you spare a moment to send healing thoughts for Alissa &her family.
So as I sit here tonight it seems to me that any small troubles I have are put in perspective.

I have not personally met Anissa, but I "met" her in a large group of bloggers at BlogHer09. I did have the opportunity to meet Shash, who manages the 5 Minutes for Special Needs Blog, which was great for this "shy" person who had a really hard time striking up conversations at BlogHer09. I went alone and really knew no one, having only blogged since the previous March. But I thought seeing Anissa was enough for me to blog about her and our local priest on Thanksgiving Day. I hope someday to meet some of you all from around the globe as well!
Thank you for your comment. Its heart breaking reading Anissa's husband's diary on her blog of how she is doing further to her stroke.
