Thank You

[Guest guest]

I would like to thank everyone for their condolences, advice, and

support. You are all wonderful people and I am blessed to have you

all here.

I did take Jake to the funeral, and he did awesome, I was extremely

proud of his behavior that day. He sat through the service, holding

my hand, telling me it would be ok, and he will always be here for

me. For the first time that I can ever remember, he listened to EVERY

word the minister spoke, and every word sank in and he understood it

all. At the end of the service, he talked to everyone there and even

told them thank you, and shook their hands. He did have a couple of

moments when I thought it was going bad, he thought he saw his

brother breathing and yelled at him to wake up, but over all, his

strength helped ME through the service, and he was a little man.

I'm trying harder than ever to get Jake an Autism assistance dog, I

even have a letter out to Dr. Phil and Montel. I am still pursuing a

future in children's educational rights, but I am also going to start

working on Autism awareness, and assisting other AS children,

especially those who have sufferd a great loss, to raise $ for

assistance dogs. Love is something our kids often have trouble

feeling, and these dogs can teach them the uncoditional love, trust,

and true friendship that they so desperately need.

If any of you have any ideas or are interested in helping with any of

these projects, please email me at tharding@.... This email

does not get junkmail like my , so I use this one for

the " important " stuff.

{{{HUGS}}} to all of you!
