I do feel guilt, but it is surrounding autism rather than DS. I wish autism would just go the capital F away. But it never will. <br /><br />Your Ben will LOVE kindergarten. Mine still loves the whole schedule of school, even if the setting is less than perfect. Middle school, here we come...cross fingers...<br />Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694078926573075655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743228979051687756.post-5911042101237827152012-08-14T11:09:24.510-05:002012-08-14T11:09:24.510-05:00i love you.

I just wanted to let you know (not that you don't already) what a blessing your boy will be to others. My daughter is in school with a boy with Down Syndrome. I thank his mother every June (they've been in the same class for 3 years now!). I thank her for allowing her son to teach my daughther compassion and patience...and so much more! She loves this boy and everything about him! Your boy will teach others to grow....what a blessing!Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453440272574883717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743228979051687756.post-24185260930435029892012-08-13T22:35:27.038-05:002012-08-13T22:35:27.038-05:00I've had that 1% hope as well.

It would be bittersweet. I love your honesty in this post and pray for a blessed year for you big boy!jeanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810018388555836612noreply@blogger.com
