Merry Christmas to you as well, Wendy....hope the day was wonderful for you and your family.

Like I said, no one has EVER done that for me before - scared me in a lot of ways too. Yes, it does make me feel inadequate, but the look on Alex's face made it worth it for the day.

Last night when we went to Mass - and it has been a very long time since I went - I felt at peace for the first time. In that building, with G*d, I found the peace I need.

There is no way to repay their kindness to my son. Tomorrow is his birthday and he will have such a good time with his friends........I've been waiting for this day.
