One of Jimmy's friends is going to do a speech on Autism and I emailed him the picture of the ribbons I made for him (30 for the class) I also asked what the speech will be on about autism and here is his reply:

It will be basically awareness and informative. I have to give a speech
about a topic that relates to us some how and since Jimmy is one of my
friends that has autism I decided to do it on that.

I thought this was sweet. It is nice to know Jimmy has a good friend.

It's great to hear someone else say that they consider your child a friend!

It was a great gift. I sent an email out to nearly everyone on my email list one time and it was the mizunderstood child and had people think if they knew a child like that. This one makes me think of Jimmy too of course. The kid responded back to me saying that it sounds like Jimmy to him but he didn't care he was his friend. :-)

The boys are going to get their senior pictures taken at the same time and we want them in a couple pictures together. His mother is my best friend but with our hectic schedules we don't get together much and she lives about 2 hours from here. He was actually raised by his dad who is not a nice person but this kid has more of his mother's characteristics. So in the picture we also want the mothers and sons then mothers together then sons together. Poor boys. LOL These are going to be cherishable pictures for us moms. :-)

I get choked up too when I email or talk to this kid on Jimmy's messenger. :-) I'm the kind of mom that will engage in conversation with Jimmy's friends on his messenger. I let them know it is me. I feel they will also stay on their toes and be careful what they say if they never know if it is me or Jimmy going to respond. :-)

I hope all of our kids are able to find that one true friend. I found that friend in this kids mother. We may not talk for months but I know if I need to talk she is only a phone call away and will listen to me. I missed her terribly when she was in Iraq the last couple of years.
