I really appreciate...Hi Maureen, K.C., and Sharon,<br /><br />I really appreciate your kind comments. :) We were very pleased with how the Valpo piece portrayed our life with autism, and we are happy that others enjoyed reading the article. Sharon, how wonderful to hear from you after so many years! I'm glad that your family is doing well and that you're enjoying being an at home mom; I'm sure you're terrific with your girls. Again, thanks for all the nice comments about the article and my blog post.<br />Take care,<br />PamPam Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693728509115670248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937833385707548980.post-3416160407306867322011-06-10T10:30:33.040-05:002011-06-10T10:30:33.040-05:00Hi Pam,

I have 3 girls of my own now (12,9,6yrs), the youngest one adopted from China. Parenthood is so challenging and my heart goes out to you & Ed as you've struggled to raise Alex with his unique set of issues. I'm sure you saw it, but I recently viewed "Jabberers & Wretches" in the theatre & it profoundly moved me (documents lives of 2 adults w/ autism). Anyway, you still remain an inspiration to me. Take care, Sharon<br /><br />p.s. Never went back to teaching English after my first was born!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099904590940960710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937833385707548980.post-62046949908178117092011-06-06T07:31:20.786-05:002011-06-06T07:31:20.786-05:00I'm smiling through tears, Pam.

I think the article is well-written, insightful, and most of all honest. It is tender in detailing what has been given up (such as opportunities to have an active social life) and so clear about your love for Alex and the gifts available to you when you look at life through his eyes.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.com
