Hello Virginia,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm no hero, though; I'm just a survivor (and nowadays I'm struggling even to be that). The survivor is the person who involuntarily gets trapped in a burning building and manages to remain alive; the hero is the person who voluntarily runs into the burning building to rescue the survivor. As far as I'm concerned, the real heroes are my son's teachers, paraprofessionals, and therapists -- the people who choose to work with him and with others like him. Lord knows that they could earn a paycheck more easily in other ways; that they choose to devote their energies in this manner instead makes them heroes in my book.
Joy,
Lynn
