Bets,
I have to chime in here and talk about my son. Like your D he gets greeted every where we go. He seems to know everyone and he is not afraid to say I love you to others. He is always happy. Always nice to everyone never gets down. He loves music ( mostly country and gospel, all music ) He loves to talk although he has a speech impediment.

I have always taken him anywhere I go except to a club. His Mother and I stayed married for 8 years.

He definately loves his daddy. He can't wait to see me. Then when we get to my house he goes to his room and watches preaching and gospel music LOL Go figure. He is 17 so maybe he doesn't want to hang out with Dad all the time.

He has a tricycle that I have to force him to ride now. He is a bit lazy. Once he gets going on it he loves it. When I take him to my dance class he has a ball. He just loves to watch people. He even dances in his chair. He loves people who act silly and so does my grand D.

Can you tell how proud I am of them. I wouldn't trade my son for all the perfect kids in the world. We can learn so much from children like him and Bets D. Why can't we have the same disposition they have?

He never seems to have emotional pain. I"m not sure if he is capable of it. He has lost his GM and step dad and he just says they are with God.

What a joy he is to have around. How could any one walk away from that?
