Sean brought home two letters he worked so hard on yesterday. All his own doing and writing. This is a kid that struggled to be able to write his own name. He wrote TWO PAGES of feelings down and a tiny picture of her he drew. He wrote more than Chet ever has at that age (on his own without prompting). sigh. They say: "I am so sore ubout litl gerl mom She was beutefl evenyou mis her in the world She is in your hart And you are so prod of her" That was one note. the other says: "I am so sad that my moms fairet die She was a good fairet But I pray for her I pray becus I love her so much I want God to take caer of her name was Jooble Speret I love my mom I hope that she fiel beter ubout it. to mom from sean" once again Sean has projected a bit. First he kept saying various ferrets were sad and crying. Now he is in these notes feeling as if I'm still in pieces over this. I'm not falling apart still as indicated by these notes. It is HE that is grieving so hard at this point in time. He is getting better however ...and is ok. I am so proud at his progession, and his grieving process being so "normal". I am sharing this with the fml and friends so you can see how a child like Sean.....how he process's though it. These letters are compelling. He only has to write a few lines each night of homework and uses ink because the "feeling" of writting and pencil makes him feel sick from his autism. These were written in PENCIL. And these are LOOOONG for him. This is quite a gift.. what he did.
