An Update regarding a Father’s Pride

Just got a call from the doctor.  All five moles removed from T’s face, came back benign.  Excellent news. Can’t wait to tell him. He isn’t much of one for worrying about things, but it is a load off the minds of mom and I.   Tweet #fighting4answrs

A father’s pride.

I am proud of each of my kids.  Everyday, each one does something that just blows me away in awe. Today for example… Mr T and I went to dermatology.   He has a lot of moles on his face, so we are working on getting them removed.  He was a bit nervous going in, I could tell, that, but with the autism, the average person wouldn’t have known.  He was his usual self though, cracking jokes and what not.  Until they stuck the first needle in him.

That said, the fact that he called to apologize was a huge event for him.  He called specifically to talk to me, and apologize.  Evidently he is working his way through everyone in the house. I don’t know if his apology was heartfelt or not. I will take it.  I told him I forgave him and then talked about when our next visit would be. Plus we talked about the Broncos / Cowboys football game.  David is rooting for the Borncos, as as he puts it, the Cowboys aren’t a very good team. Related articles Explosive Visit With David Today.
