And that child's life is forever changed because of it, and so are the lives of his family who probably felt so overwhelmed, not knowing there could be progress. Big kudos to you, and the others at the school too, for steeping in to make that difference. I can't help but think too, of the mother's plea. A mama's love for his son (had she not asked, maybe no one would have thought to step in and fight for the little boy) can def. work miracles. And finally, the dad is at the school!!! That is an amazing and wonderful transformation, and hurrah to him for it too!mail4roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850985344834209198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997377041096641755.post-20440744753722335962014-07-12T11:47:45.438+03:002014-07-12T11:47:45.438+03:00Sad story but the ending is much better.
