here iy is my wife is so much better than me.

1st he wakes to living in his own home without parents. We know it is what is best for James and as we are not getting younger best for us. But doesnt makeit any easier. I can remember when doctor felt he may never walk without his walk in front of walker. We worker with therapy team and doctors and he walks. After his stroke that took 4 years of the barely 7 years of speech he had we was warned he may or matnot regain it. He is now at the level of a 5 year old. I keep thinking back to the 1st summer we sent him to Camp Cheerful, I cried all the way home because we left him with total strangers/ Though we have gotten to know the staff I still feel we have left him with strangers. I know this will pass with time. I just keep asking myself what parent would drop thier 5 year old off to people like this. I have the answer. The same woman that walked into our final adoption hear, James birth Mom and stated the best thing for James is to be with bob and Becky. Thank you Rhonda, it has been a hell of a ride. Now to sit back and watch how this works outs and for Bob and I to figure out what life is after 36 years of takin care of and watching after kids to watching after each other. Empty nesters and hints for us? LOL ok now I will go cry some more.

James came to us a fosterkid when he was 3. from the time he came to us he loved to go on rides. But what he loved more was construction. Me being a mason foreman i brought him out on alot of my jobs. He would love to set on the machinary.

james said it was way more cool to run the machines than building the buildings.

need a nap thanks to mucle relaxer
