Stanley's Visit

Hard to believe that a week has gone by and now its time for Stanley and I to say goodbye. We have had fun this past week, and he will be missed.

Stanley help me with many chores during the week. He even came to work with me. He was a bit reluctant at first but got the hang of it after a couple of day. He had fun helping with my workouts and even decided to jump in and take CXWORX class.

I have to say that the highlight of his visit was our trip to Maryland. He told me that he wanted to show support and that he had never been on a plane so I decided that maybe it was a good idea for him to come along. He enjoyed the free pretzels and was very comfortable during takeoff and landing. He is a brave boy.

He could not come into my AIM 2 module so he decided to catch up on some rest back at the hotel. He had a lot of fun checking out the hotel and watching T.V. He also enjoyed our talks about what I was learning. He actually gave me great advice that I will incorporate into my classes. He told me, "Laura, do not be afraid to be different". "Be you and be proud of it no matter what anyone says". " Always be true to your heart". I found this very helpful.

Stanley will be greatly missed by our family and we have begged him to stay. He said he has to ask him Mom. So D, expect a call from Stanley.

Thank you for letting him visit our home and inspiring us to be who we are... and to be proud of it. Each one of us has a special gift that we must share with others and we are so grateful that Stanley was able to share his with us. We love you Stanley!
