That is a rare luxury with my virtual 7 day a week schedule.deo1929https://www.blogger.com/profile/06637879831843277574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682886417448109328.post-81684639708218196182010-05-30T14:36:48.791-04:002010-05-30T14:36:48.791-04:00The high point of my week came during the Honors P...The high point of my week came during the Honors Program near the end of the night. After 2 hours in the bleachers they were down to the final few awards and I was more than ready to go. Then they announced a new award for exemplary citizenship, endowed by a family whose son (friend and coworker of Nathan) had died just weeks after their graduation. A few sentences into the introduction of the awardee, I realized she was describing John. I watched as his friends started to poke, pat and punch him. He just kept shaking his head until they finally said his name. As a parent, there is nothing that fills your heart more than the times when others recognize the special-ness of your child. Because, as any mom can atest, we knew it all along. I am so blessed by all of my children.marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682886417448109328.post-69731322976786928122010-05-28T21:34:10.934-04:002010-05-28T21:34:10.934-04:00Oh, poor little sweetie!

How sweet that she's a snuggler. Hope she's feeling better soon!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140293064792420724noreply@blogger.com
