Thank You

Lately, I have been in a very negative state of mind. Much of it has to do with the stress I have been under. And I apologize for projecting outward. I want to thank everyone who has been supportive by posting to the blog, emailing, calling, and sending warm thoughts through the U.S. Postal Service. I feel very uplifted by the encouragement that’s been offered and by those of you who have lent a listening ear. I am very blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life.

Today, along with the nurse from the home health agency, I helped to train a new aide for Zane. I love her! She and Zane had an instant rapport. While Zane loves people in general, he only really warms up to those who take the time to make a connection with him. She did! So something seemingly bad—an aid not showing up on Monday—led to something positive—an aid who really has connected with our little guy.

  1. good to hear about the good helper. I once asked one such good helper taking care of a special child requiring round the clock suctioning: "You look tired, is it tough? she replied. "you must have love. then can manage."
