I remember a chat a few months back and you were saying how Ben wouldn't participate in a, i want to say it was a school music show, maybe christmas,and how he wouldn't have his picture taken on picture day which is exactly how my guy is so I thank you because you're triumph gives me ( and others I'm sure) so much hope! Congratulations again!Reading the Phil Collins post made me a little teary-eyed. You couldnot have told me some months ago that this day would have happened this soon. Wow! Janet
It has been a few days now and I am still so very amazed.I wish I could show you a video of the program and of his expression when it was over, how proud he was. He knew that he had done a very big thing.
It's funny to day how he fretted a little over getting a new Sunday School teacher and having to change rooms. He and the others are being promoted to the First Grade group. I reminded him that he had met the new teacher, a nice young man. Benjamin was happy about having a man teacher, still unsure about moving rooms.:) This too shall pass

"You'll Be In My Heart"
Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight
I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always
