Tim Benjamin, Editor

The legislative session is coming to its final weeks and much of the budget cuts and their effects are still unknown. What is known is explained clearly in both front page articles in this issue. Anne Henry, Steve Larson, Bud Rosenfield and others have been kind enough to take time out of their busy roles as advocates for the rights of the disability community to keep us informed on what is happening to our programs and benefits. . . . . .  Editor’s Column, may 2003

 

 

Mental Illness/Brain Disorders

Before Commitment/After Diagnosis

by Pete Feigal

We each keep time in different ways, with our own personal clocks and calendars. Measuring the days and years, remembering or forgetting, keeping track of our histories.

My friends, Jim and Erin, measure their lives by their baby's birth, her first steps, first words. As Fiona experiences everything for the first time, Jim and Erin are also rediscovering the wonder of simply living.
