Acceptance

Acceptance is our family's photographic journal during the early days of the pandemic in the Spring of 2020. Needing to transition our home into an office and a school, and with our two young boys who have autism, without in-person support, we were unsure of how to process and respond to what was happening. Bernie, a skilled photographer, did what photographers do: took out her camera to document. As our new reality unfolded, we recognized and saw in the images a parallel between the acceptance of shelter in place life and the journey of acceptance of our sons that had begun years before. What first seemed limited became a place for us to thrive when approached with love and compassion and acceptance.

This art show is a testament to the love and support our community brings for our boys and other atypical children. You give us hope, and we thank you for that.
