Sit with Me (Neutral Green/Blue)
"What is this Collection about? Friends, this Collection is all about something I love...Food! But my disability makes it hard for me to eat. When I was born my throat was not connected to my stomach. The surgeon fixed it but the muscles don’t work well. Sometimes I choke. I have trouble swallowing. Eating can hurt. Eating can be scary. But I Love to eat! So I keep going. Every day! I don’t like eating all alone. One, I am scared of choking. And two, eating alone feels lonely. And Friends, I am often lonely. Making friends is hard for me. Too many adults with intellectual disabilities are lonely. It’s a Big problem. But I feel it most when I sit at my table to eat. It is confusing: I Love eating, but it is scary sometimes and makes me feel alone and lonely. That’s why this Collection is all about Not being alone and lonely, Not being scared and anxious. And the Best way I know how to Not feel that way? It’s about asking someone who cares about me to come and sit with me at the table. Because that makes me feel Good."
