I’m having the same trouble with David Copperfield. I’m glad you got the card. I can’t believe G turns two tomorrow.

Thank you Dora. I know it’s been weeks now since you awarded me with the Versatile Blogger award, but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate the honor. I’ve been slow to respond because, well, I’m just generally slow, but I also have been thinking a good bit about the blogs to which I’d like to pass this honor. I will be posting soon, and I’m thankful to have you as a reader. I’m glad that what sometimes feels like a strange mix of subjects to me fits somehow within “the versatile.”
Sincerely, Jennifer

hello Jennifer,
thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot. Being an aspie myself (on the far side of the highly-high functioning and a female, which makes its detection a whole different matter) and having discovered it while well into my adulthood (http://turnsofendearment.wordpress.com/2011/10/09/not-in-a-easy-place-the-ding-and-the-universe/) I can’t but have an enormous amount of admiration and respect towards your unremitting devotion to your son and his needs. The internet can be a funny place and any healing an even funnier process but, in the midst of all the strangenesses and wonders of our nature, I would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts and journey . .
warmly,
Dora
