Cindy Haddad reading from The Special Needs Planning Guide:

"This is Cindy Haddad. I never envisioned anyone other than me to take over my parent's role of caring for my brother Ron when they were gone. My dreams for my future always included a place for Ron to be a part of my life. I never realized that he could live independently or work independently. Although Ron is still a part of my life and always will be, he now has his own life that includes his own vision. It is a life that he is tremendously proud of, as we all are."
