Making a Difference

The Committee Hearing for LB1048 was today in Lincoln. Four people testified for the bill, 0 neutral, 0 against. Barack Obama was in Omaha today, and yes, Trish, we missed it due to the hearing, but it was worth it. We really are making a difference.

The Senators that heard the bill were very receptive, compassionate - they really listened to us.

We are even getting some wonderful press coverage - and that’s what this is really about. Awareness. Education. And I can’t help but love the fact that my baby Carter is mentioned by name. He’s making a difference. I sobbed as I read the article for the first time (and the second, and the third…)

Thanks to those that sent in their letters of support this far. We’re not done yet - the Committee will discuss and hopefully vote next week to move it forward. But I feel that we’re already making an impact on others’ lives in Nebraska.

Thanks to Senator Nantkes and Julie as well - they continue to be our rockstars.

For Carter and Myles forever.
