Dear Son went back to school today. He has not been to school in almost a month. As usual, when he is excited, he is wide awake most of the night. Last night was no different. He was making noise at 3 a.m. and I got up to make sure he was o.k. He was wide awake and all bright eyed. I told him it was too early to get up for school and kissed him and went back to bed. I started his gtube feeding at 3:55 a.m. and he was awake. He got on the school bus at 7:30 a.m. this morning and the bus driver was talking to me so he invited me to come on the school bus. When I came on the bus, they were tieing down his wheelchair. Dear Son was grinning ear to ear and the look on his face was pure joy! He was so happy to be going to school! It was just awesome to see him so excited. I haven't seen him this excited in weeks. Somehow, you just know it's going to be a great day.

So glad to hear this!!
Isn't that great -- for the both of you! For Dear Son being so excited to get back into the swing of things with school, and for you for being so joyful in your son's happiness! I hope his first day back went well and your weekend went even better, and I hope the week ahead is a happy one for you and your dear son.
Best regards,
Gloria
That is great. I love your new icon too.
