I don’t know if you had the chance to watch Parenthood Tuesday night.  If you haven’t you should search the net for the series premier.  
I had tears in my eyes as the initial diagnosis of Aspergers comes out.  The absolute fear of the unknown.  The absolute fear and devastation of [...]]]></description>

I did not get understandably tired of telling Ben not to eat snow that’s been lying on the ground for the last week and a half.  I did not succumb to the third child lax and decide that if [...]]]></description>

Determination, Observation, Happiness, Compassion, Kindness
Determination in all he does shines through,
If you watch it will be clear to you,
That although some obstacles he works to overcome
With a little of your help, this can be done.
