A tribute to all mothers -- especially those with special needs. Happy Mothers Day to the most important people in the world. Yes, that includes you mom! (She won't see this, at 88 with failing vision, she doesn't have a computer).

It's posted on the wall, about eye-level for a 7-year-old girl whose ability to walk and talk is compromised by autism, cerebral palsy and developmental delays.

They celebrate achievements most people take for granted in a child Bridget's age, such as the steady progress made over two years in getting her potty trained.
They are two moms with backgrounds that couldn't be more different, bound by a common purpose: To see children like Bridget live as full a life as possible.
