This young man fills my heart this morning.
We have had the toughest year, this little family of ours....but this young man has sailed a steady course through it. He has remained focussed on what he has needed to do to thrive and keep himself safe. He has shared his feelings openly and loved his family deeply.
Last night he informed me that he is receiving an 'Academic Excellence Award' at the end of the year at Speech Night. His toughest year and he nailed it. I am so proud, so grateful... and I needed to write about it here because this blog is a record of my life and I want to remember today. I want to give thanks for my boys here on my blog and tell the world about how grateful I am for them.
Done.
Happy Thursday!

Sometimes they just really surprise you; and it also amazes you when you notice just how resilient they are.
Enjoy the speech night.

Kids can be so unbelievably resiliant if they have a consistent thread of unconditional love in their lives. I'm betting you have given that core to them. Good for them, good for you. Respect to the three of you. Bxx
B's a smart cookie sweets, the world is his oyster. Plus he has a beautiful nature just like little tacker...all down to you. Be proud! Annie xx

Congratulations to your little man. It is very tough but he will be a wiser young man for all that you all have endured. I think having a great Mum would have made a huge difference to both your boys this year:).
