I know I said it when we saw you in Florida, but I need to say it again: you are clearly an AMAZING mother. I am so impressed by your "hell no" attitude to Thom's prognosis as a kid, and I think every parent faced with an autism diagnosis needs to know your story! Way to go to you and your whole family!!! xoxoJane @ The Borrowed Abodehttp://www.theborrowedabode.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008880872026993302.post-49407672885582204962011-06-02T09:14:56.758-04:002011-06-02T09:14:56.758-04:00What an amazing story!
