Today I finally went through Nathan's backpack from his last day of school.  I lingered to do so since it was a bitter sweet ending.  As I went through his papers the last one I came upon was a type written letter I had not expected.  Maybe one day I will share all that it said.  But, for now those precious words are meant for my son.  But, I do want to share one passage in honor of teachers everywhere.  Teachers who teach our special needs children.  Who only see the special, not the needs.

 ...you have taught me a lot.  You have taught me to be thankful, to be cautious, and to find fine balance, to be witty, to be silly, and to love Dinosaurs.  You have challenged me and cheered me up...

And this is why it was so hard to leave.
