I hope you have a great birthday today. Lots of Hugs from Canada Shannon Shannon <shannon_n_graham@hotmail.com> Tillsonburg, On Canada - Thursday, November 16, 2006 3:08 PM CST Hello Everyone!!! How is everyone doing? I came across a poem while I was doing some research for Autism...I hope you like it WELCOME TO HOLLAND by Emily Perl Kingsley. c1987 by Emily Perl Kingsley. All rights reserved I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this...... When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland." "Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy." But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place. So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around.... and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills....and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned." And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss. But... if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland. Shannon <shannon_n_graham@hotmail.com> Tillsonburg, On Canada - Tuesday, November 14, 2006 10:25 AM CST Hey there cuteness! Your pictures are wonderful. I will be praying for all the surgery details to be worked out. Stephanie and RachelJoy <mom2rj@comcast.net> - Saturday, November 4, 2006 5:58 PM CST Hi handsome Charlie! Turo and I were just visiting your site and checking for new pics of you and Lily. Sounds like you had tons of fun at both pumpkin patches, are you excited for Halloween tomorrow? Kalair is super excited, but Turo doesn't really "get" the whole trick or treating thing yet. Anyway, tell your mommy we want to see pictures of you guys in your costumes. We love you, big boy! (((HUG))) ~Liz, Kalair and Arturo's mom P.S. Kim, I tried to post this in Charlie's angels gb, but it did that silly password thing, we have been having more problems with that on the angels sites lately, it's so annoying! Anyway, give me a call when you can, I'd like us to have lunch one of these days! Liz Dutzy <kalairsmom@yahoo.com> Olathe, KS USA - Monday, October 30, 2006 7:42 PM CST I know the doctor's office is the last place you want to spend hours of your day, but I look forward to seeing Kyle (and the rest of the family)whenever he has an appointment.

I am going to have to call you so I can hear them. They are the best in the world. I hope everyone has a good week and weekend. We are getting busy around the house. Ethan is a social butterfly these days. He has joined Cub Scouts and The Kids for Christ youth group at church. I need a day planner now. Whew!!! I love it though. I get to do all the neat stuff with him. I am reliving my childhood or should I say living it the first time with him. Lots of love, kisses and prayers coming your way.

I loved meeting your family and especially Charlie. He is the sweetest boy I have ever met (next to Baby Jacob of course). I must apologize for all the tears I shed. I tried not to do that but hope you understand how emotional that weekend was for us all. Thank you again for allowing us to use your room Friday night. Your generosity is overwhelming. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and I personally cannot wait to meet you all again. My prayers and thoughts are always with you. Kiss that little ham and Lily for me. Love you all to pieces.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!! Charlie, I love you soooooooo much. You are one special little man. Thank you for letting me meet you and even more so for letting me hold you. I was the best moment of the weekend. I am sorry that you had to see me cry. I tried not to do that in front of you but it was a happy cry. You made me feel so honored to be able to do that. John and Kim, WOW, is all I can say. You are such great people. I am so glad I got to meet and get to know you. Not only are you great people but you are a great couple. Your marriage is rock solid and you stick together. There is so much love and compassion in you both. Not just for you but for everyone, including people you just meet. You do know now that Charlie has a new admirer. I can't get enough of him :) Everyday has to be a joy to have him with you. Lily is also a doll. She is such a sweetie. There is so much to say about this weekend but I really can't find words good enough to write how I feel in my heart. Just know that I love all of you and am here when and if you need me.

I hope you have a great vacation and I will see you soon. Carol Burgess <carol_burgess@kerrgroup.com> Conway, NC USA - Tuesday, August 2, 2005 10:47 AM CDT Greetings from Minnesota! I've stopped to check out Charlie's page a few times, but got pulled from the site before leaving a message. Thank you so much visiting my Angel Charlie's site. It's exciting to see how many people we can educate through our stories, and these sites. I saw Charlie's picture of him in the pool and he looks just GREAT! Charlie, before you know it, you'll be swimming like a fish. We are so happy that you are staying healthy, and doing new things all the time. You and your sister, Lily, sure keep your mom on her toes! We had our big SMA fundraiser last weekend, but I didn't see your grandma this year. There were many more people than last year, and I was helping in the background, so we missed each other. We raised a lot of money for this cure! We will get there, and we will see it our lifetime!!! All our best.
