It has been great to see Neil's progress over the years and so nice that he will be independent (with some help from kind people). You have both worked so hard. This will bring many more wonderful blessings for Neil and your family. Congratulations, Neil!!

Your whole family will be greatly blessed, but no one more than Neil. What a wonderful opportunity and experience he will have. The people he comes in contact with will be blessed, as well.

He will be blessed immeasurably, as will your sweet family. I understand how much you will miss your boy, especially given how attached you've been to each other over these last several years as you've given so much of your time, making sure that Neil's opportunities have been maximized. This is truly an answer to prayer - yours as well as ours.<br />Love, Michelle (sis)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
