Progression
Erik's last swim class was today, so I went to watch, and I have to say, I was very proud of him. Dunking his head under and staying there a few seconds, splashing around, going down the waterslide...all this from the kid that used to freak out if he got any water on his face! Just felt great to see him so confident, since he has a little problem with that sometimes. of course, since we were all there (well, not all of us, Fucknut and his Pudge weren't there, ha ha), the show-off in him came out a little, but that was cool, it was just good to see how far he'd come.
Met his teacher and his aide, too, which was cool...the aide is pretty cool. I guess she was glad to meet me, finally, since it seems Erik talks about me a lot, about things we do together and such. Yeah, yeah, colour me proud. Just felt good.
As a side note, I wanted to thank everyone, again, for the letters and postcards you've sent
dravengodvamp during this trying time. he says it's helped to keep his sanity intact, and I believe it. I may have to transcribe some of his latest letter, since it speaks to more than just me, but to you guys, too. On a personal note, it means a lot to me, as well, and to purpleflake, who I talked to this morning.
