Hope you don’t think I’m creepy … Just came from your music site, and noticed you mentioned there that this was your primary blog. I am a former special ed aide, and so my interest was piqued. And I have to tell you, really, what an awesome and truly heartwarming site. I had the rare and wonderful privilege to work with a 9-year-old autistic student last year, who has a very similar diagnosis to your beautiful Ben. It was a challenging year in many ways, but so rewarding to see this child of God learn, laugh, discover and develop in ways that weren’t predicted by doctors or teachers. I just wanted to leave you a brief comment of encouragement. You have a great story, a great outlook, and two wonderful blessings in your boys. Keep fighting the good fight. God never said life would be easy, but He promises that it will be worth it.
Far from creepy, how about super nice! Seriously, thanks for being interested and for all your encouraging comments. I checked out your blog and was really impressed and am a new subscriber!
Hope that’s not creepy
Haha, so now we can creep around each other’s sites together! YES! *pumps fist!* Seriously though, thanks for reading and subscribing. I’ll be looking forward to new posts from you as well.
You’ve won me over too, I’m subscribing. I thought I did before, but …well, maybe it’s the little nut behind the wheel.
Brought a smile to my face…many thanks!
