I have not written here for years. Over 5 years, in fact.
The reasons are many. First off, I am at the point in my life where Dovi isn't such a front-and-center part of my life. He is 15 1/2 years old, bli ayin hora, and doing amazingly well at Anderson. I call his house regularly, and they send me pictures regularly. I hope to post some later on in this entry. I just finished the IEP meeting with the school , and I was moved to tears by their reports on the things he can do today. If someone would have told me back when I started this blog and despairing about his future, that in 2024 he could recognize numbers, guess the weather correctly, do tasks such as taking paper to the shredder, sweeping the floor, doing laundry, following recipes correctly, and dressing himself, I wouldn't have believed you. He is tall, handsome and healthy, and while I miss him every day, I cannot thank Hashem enough for leading him to such an amazing school and such devoted caregivers. I can write a whole book about this topic, but I'm pressed for time.
