During daylight, we go about our lives. Walt rides his bike to school each morning, back home each afternoon. Cornelia manages the house, the bills, the overloaded schedules of the kids. I am editing and writing for The Journal, putting on my suit and subwaying to the bureau.
It was a really great read, I'm glad I took the time to check it out. Makes me want to go home and hug my kids. "regressive" Autism is a terrifying thing as a parent of a child that is still in that age range. You never know. What amazing parents they are though.
Always - I know that if you shout me out it's going to above the standard level of article. I'm glad I didn't miss this - even if I did miss it the first time around.
