Read: "Sometimes I just wish my parents weren't so BUSY! They go to meetings. And then they go to more meetings. They talk on the phone to people. And then they talk with more people. They write letters. They write email. They send faxes. Then they talk on the phone some more! Sometimes they travel to other states and even other countries. Mom says this is called 'advocacy.'" -- Morasha R. Winokur, from My Invisible World: Life With My Brother, His Disability, and His Service Dog, this week's featured book.
