He misses you! I think he really enjoyed your quiet week together. Thanks so much Pat! We had a wonderful time and a good 'recharge' as well as a great opportunity to spend time with Brooklyn who sometimes gets overlooked. I think you are a very special grandma too!

My oldest and dearest friend's younges...Hi Pat,<br />My oldest and dearest friend's youngest child is autistic. It is a challenge every day for everyone in his life. Each moment of each day is planned in advance. My hat goes off to parents with children with special needs. The love that is bestowed on their children is lovely to behold. You and Anson have a special relationship and it is so great he feels so at ease with his lovingSushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098871743806383324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543019754751595524.post-35195730825521698732011-11-14T04:48:23.227-07:002011-11-14T04:48:23.227-07:00Your Anson is a prize and you are a wonderful gran...Your Anson is a prize and you are a wonderful grandmother to have been able to enjoy him on your own.<br /><br />We have one grandson that is autistic. He is now 19 and new set of problems arise for our daughter who has raised him with her other son and daughter as a single parent. He is an amazing young man because he has an amazing mother and siblings who have devoted their time and energy Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543019754751595524.post-573538455155901602011-11-13T20:56:54.131-07:002011-11-13T20:56:54.131-07:00I am glad you had a wonderful week with Anson.

We never truly know how tiring it can be to care for a handicapped child or how much it effects the whole family until you experience it for yourself. It is so great that they provide so much support there. Not everyone has that or a caring grandmother to help out either. I'm sure your help was I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543019754751595524.post-214152859488042292011-11-13T15:40:39.852-07:002011-11-13T15:40:39.852-07:00What a cute little guy!

And since I see he's a Nascar #20 Car - Joey Logano fan as I am, well he's got to be a great kid! haha.<br /><br />I had an ADHD child and that was a handful so I can't imagine having to be that regimented. Yet, we seem to do it don't we? Whatever it takes. You're a good Grandma!BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432729957196570774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543019754751595524.post-64657196226535432502011-11-13T13:22:53.422-07:002011-11-13T13:22:53.422-07:00One of my son's friends from primary school ha...One of my son's friends from primary school had a sister who was autistic, severely so. It was not easy for her parents, who had three other children in addition. I echo Diane's sentiments although I, too, would have felt somewhat anxious to have had this responsibility on my own.

I struggle every time I go to Vegas or they come here. Sounds like everything went swimmingly. With enough love and patience all things work out usually. I'm glad to be home.
