<< and above all his magna doodle....Carole>>

Hi, Everyone.....Carole....mannnnnnnnnnnn the memories!!! Gareth went

through so many of those between the ages of 5-10. He'd sit for hours and do

his

" chicken scribble " . It looked like the kid was writing a manuscript. He'd

have the whole thing filled....line after line after line of tiny chicken

scribble!!! FWIW....I really like having all you 'newbies' .....you bring back

all

the memories of my hardest years. Believe me, it does get better.

<<I didn't recognize the grieving process and just how important it is to

allow myself to admit that it's crappy news >>

Sue.....sorry to hear Karrie didn't travel so well. We are so optimistic

about our kids, but Gareth has had his share of meltdowns in airports, too. As

for grieving, a lot of us have done it twice. Once when we found out our child

has Down Syndrome and, then, when we hear the " A " word. We all go through it

and need to take our time in adjusting to another 'roadblock' in our lives.

You have the dx, new meds, and a world of cyber friends praying for you and

Karrie. Take your time and pray for patience each night for the next day. One

day at a time....that's all you need to get through right now.

<< I can't wait to read the posts everyday on everyone's children. I think

of them

daily and my spirit smiles , I am so thankful for each and everyone

on this list. Perspective is everything!!!! ----->>

.....it's like an addiction. I HAVE to read it daily. Just the idea

that there are other 'Gareth's' out there and people dealing with issues that I

thought I was the only one having......makes my day.

<<I know exactly which Power Rangers you're talking about. also loves

these guys and has a bucket full of these oldie Power Ranger dudes. If there

are any extra I'll be glad to send it your way. >>

Irma.....if is anything like Gareth, PLEEEEEEASE don't take his toys.

Gareth

has plenty of banging toys and he would know if ONE was gone!!! I would have

to search the house for it!!! Finding them at garage sales is one thing, but

I wouldn't want to take 's toys. Take care,

Everyone.

Hi Margaret,

You are certaintly correct on that part would know if one was

gone. His brother Rick also had a collection back when he was

younger and no longer wanted them and passed them for whoever wanted

them. I always had to invest on purchasing 2 to 3 of everything when

Rick was into something like the gotta have, just like that movie

Arnold Schwarzenegger came out on Jingle All The Way. The things I

did back then. Anyways they would be the extras. Rick played with

them and the other for collection, until wanted what Rick had

and then I ended purchasing them for , to stim with, line them

up, etc.. I promise I'll keep an eye out for them at the flea

markets and garage sales, ok?
