I remember looking at Lily after I'd posted about how difficult it is to be a chronically ill parent and saying, "We have insight other people don't have. Insight that might help others."

She looked at me and said, "What do we do with it?"

I said, "Let's write a book, a children's book. One that can help other parents navigate difficult situations like ours."

"I'm game", was all she had to say.

Now, we're sitting here holding the book I wished I'd had when I was diagnosed with a chronic condition all while looking after a 1 year old.

💙 Today we honor the heart of our communities—caregivers. 💙

On this National Caregiver Day, we recognize the compassion, strength, and dedication of those who give so much of themselves to care for others. Whether you're supporting a loved one at home or working on the front lines, your kindness does not go unnoticed.

You are the quiet heroes—showing up every day with patience, empathy, and love. 🌿
Thank you for all that you do, today and every day.

Today is National Caregiver Day.
In the neuromuscular community, caregiving is more than support. It is leadership. It is advocacy. It is love in action.

Caregivers help shape the strength of our families, create possibilities in complex moments, and play a vital role in moving our community forward. Their impact is felt in quiet routines, difficult conversations, advocacy efforts, and everyday victories that help build a more accessible future.

At Muscular Dystrophy Canada, caregiving is not simply acknowledged. It is deeply valued and celebrated as part of the heartbeat of this community.

To every caregiver, your presence matters here. Your commitment matters here. You belong here.

If there is a caregiver who has shaped your journey, tag them below or share a message of appreciation in the comments. Let us take a moment today to recognize the people who help carry this community forward.

Today is World Autism Acceptance Day 💙

A day to listen, to learn, and to celebrate neurodiversity in all its forms. Autism is not something to be “fixed” — it’s a different way of experiencing and interacting with the world. Every autistic person brings unique strengths, perspectives, and value to our communities.

Let’s move beyond awareness and into acceptance: creating spaces that are inclusive, supportive, and understanding. That means embracing differences, respecting boundaries, and amplifying autistic voices.

Kindness, patience, and acceptance can make a world of difference.

Today is World Autism Acceptance Day. 💜

Today is about more than awareness. It’s about acceptance, understanding, and celebrating neurodiversity.

No matter where you are on your journey, please remember: you are not alone. There is a community here that sees you, supports you, and accepts you exactly as you are.

Keep shining bright.

-Ability Hive
