Reagan In The Digest!

First off, let me just say I love Readers Digest.  I know it’s not the hippest magazine but I have always loved it.  My grandma used to let me take her old issues when I was  kid and even one of my best friends in college got me a subscription one year for my birthday.  So I’m very sincere when I say I LOVE the Digest.  So how awesome is it that my friend and mother-I-look-up-to Reagan and her family were featured in the August issue?  The answer to that question is super awesome if it wasn’t already clear.  I finally got a hold of a copy yesterday and let me tell you…the article is amazing.  Seeing how I was living in New York and was pals with Reagan when Piper was born, I sorta thought I would already know how this article goes…but I was surprised to learn a thing or two and to come away with a renewed love and respect for the Breinholt clan.  I was just going to read the article and not buy the magazine, but after reading it I had to buy it.  I knew I wanted to have it on hand when I needed a little pick-me-up or some positive perspective.
Being in the world of special needs can feel isolating at times, especially when your particular special need is so uncommon.  I can’t tell you how great it is to know someone else who is in different-but-somehow-similar circumstances, especially someone as positive, upbeat and funny as Reagan.
So Reags if you’re reading this, thank you.  I loved it and I love you guys.  Although I know all too well that one does not campaign or volunteer for the position of special needs mom, you’ve knocked it out of the park.  You’re a great role model for me and I’m grateful to know you.  Three months in the same ward in Provo and reuniting a short time later in NYC?  Not a coincidence.  High five’s to Heavenly Father on that one.
