How did it come to pass that we're celebrating his 12th birthday? I can't keep up. This boy who has given me so much and taught me even more. He has persevered through so many difficulties and works so hard to be a part of the world even, no, especially, when the world confuses him so much. I love you, dear boy.
I don't know how many consecutive 100 degree days we've had, but it seems like forever. My in-laws are coming on Thursday, just in time for the weather to break (we hope).
