When Charlie was little, he decided he was going to cross the monkey bars at the playground at school. Every day he would try to make it across until his hands were covered in blisters, but he kept trying until he could finally one day he could cross those monkey bars like, well, a monkey.

He's had a rough year, all told, with behaviour issues and the like, but he knew he had to improve. He worked really hard, just like he did when he was conquering those monkey bars; sometimes falling, but always getting up to try again, working hard to learn better social and academic skills.

Today I got a letter from the school:

Charlie has been nominated by one of our teachers as a student that has made a positive impact on Collingswood Middle School, and as a possible student of the month recipient. This means that he has impressed one of our teachers with his work ethic, attitude, kindness, or sheer determination.

He made it to the other side.

I am very proud of him.

That is fabulous news!! My nephew is autistic and I have a general idea of what your life is like with Charlie and school. A letter like that makes you feel like all the low points are worthwhile.

That is the most beautiful letter I've read in quite awhile.

Big hugs to both you and Charlie.

All right. I unfriended you, because they do not want to be intrusive.
I do not know much English and does not always accurately understand what is written.
You want to be friends with me? If so, then why can not I see the last record? I do not understand.
Please tell me whether I can add you to my friends, read your entries and comment on them?

Oh...I locked my last post only because I realised it had my son's school name and his surname, and that shouldn't be open on the internet.

I thought I had friended you back, but apparently I didn't, so when I locked it, you couldn't see it any more. I have friended you now, so you can read my locked posts.

Please friend back if you would like!
