So a wonderful event will happen in our home today. Our workers all arranged to come here at the same time (mid afternoon) for a get together for Ryan for Christmas. This is amazing! They all work at different jobs and we kind of live in the boonies. I have tried to arrange something like this for years with different workers/different agencies for Christmas or for Ryan's birthday but it never worked out.
This time the girls took it upon themselves to do it. They are even bringing Santa (I supplied the outfit). The agency head (who I CANNOT stand as you know) - is off on leave in Asia for months. One of Ryan's workers is manning the office and she helped make it all work. And she is coming along with another of our workers who is on maternity leave.
Josh has taken this week off (for the most part - he is working a bit from here on his computer). We're making nice food and beverages for the party.
Ryan has been through so much since he acquired brain damage at age 4. He got sick on Christmas last year and we did not get him back to good health until he got out of hospital in August. A long, long stay. But I'm so glad to say he is doing really well since then and LOVED his trip to Disney World.
We are all reeling from so many tragic events of the past couple of days. I thought you might like to hear of something happy and heartwarming.
May we all pull together at this time. Be extra kind to one another and be grateful for the positive things in our lives.
