On Monday night, I went to see a lecture given by Rick Lavoie, author of It’s So Much Work to be Your Friend as well as other titles. He is a Special Education expert. When it began at 7 p.m. – I was exhausted because Andrew had gotten sick again on Sunday and was home all day with me. He was miserable. I dreaded going to the lecture because Jim and Andrew weren’t “getting along” well and I also was just plain tired and wanted to stay home. The lecture was great and it was the best hour and forty-five minutes I spent in a long time. I left feeling positive but also very sad. The stories of these kids with Asperger’s, autism, ADD etc. being bullied and the stories of their moms justing wanting their kids to have “just one friend” broke my heart.
We have a long road ahead of us and Andrew is worth every single inch of it we crawl.
