- Go to So long, Jerry. We'll miss you. Come back and see us sometime.
Those who touch us in a special way - it is wonderfu that more and more people are beginning to realize autism is NOT the Village Idiot. The education was a long overdue.

Jerry sounds like a very special man, and I'm lucky to be 78 tomorrow and still able to function physically and able to stay in my own home with Kabu. Because of Kabu as well.

Someone like your Jerry may never realize that he gives way more to folks than he could ever be given back. To be born with the gift of seeing good in everything and everyone is a wonderful thing.
re Tom ...I have to make some changes they are glaring. Then I will see about that competition. You are a darling.

I wish him well! I've known a few Down's kids over the years - remarkable people, some of them with an amazing sense of humor...

Reading your tales of the people who touch your life,
who stay a while, and pass through, is always moving, and I think it's some of your best writing.
