1 in 5 Americans open to the idea of the British King as their head of state.

This is one of the more beautiful and true pieces I’ve ever read about caring for a child with a disability. I need to read this again later and think about it. But I wanted to share this snippet, which in my own story, changed the course of my life completely. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
