I have read about 4 posts back and can't do much more right now. I found a link to Griffin's blog from our blog's history.<BR/><BR/>Since I don't see a email address for you let me quickly introduce myself. I am a daddy of a 4 year old (next week) who has been fighting inoperable cancer for 8 months and is currently not doing so well. 6 months before her cancer diagnosis she was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and their is evidence of autistic tendancies but we didnt get a chance to follow up on that before her cancer.<BR/><BR/>What you wrote to family and friends is perfect for us as well. I look forward to being able to read as emotions permit. <BR/><BR/>-Scott (Rebekah's Daddy)<BR/>www.HelpRebekah.com // rebekahspage.blogspot.comRebekah Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08587675553032625407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16828082.post-1133483745941565382005-12-01T19:35:00.000-05:002005-12-01T19:35:00.000-05:00I am so lucky to have made a group of friends who ...I am so lucky to have made a group of friends who so understand my Isaac, they completely ignored him until he made it clear that he was feeling safe, in a few short months we have gone from hiding and turning his back to being right there in the front and playing with the kids.....it helps so much to make yourself imagine how they are feeling. You do need a thick skin though for all those times when someone talks to your beautiful, 'normal' looking child and then is treated to either a full on stare, or simply have him turn his back.The other mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913638956964378435noreply@blogger.com
