Over and done

I was cleaning out a portion of our computer desk over the weekend and came upon the large binder full of Nate's "information"--therapy notes, regional center evaluations, school IEPs, neurologist records, training notes I had taken on special ed law, etc.

I threw it away.

Why do I need it now? It's very freeing to realize I no longer need documentation for meetings where I'll have to fight for certain services. I also don't need this physical reminder of that season in our lives. I already have the best physical reminder of the success of that season: Nate himself!
