To have cried like a little baby this evening?

[Marmiteandjamislush]

I've been a little depressed by the threads re ungrateful children and presents, so I thought I'd share this story. Today, my beautiful, clever, amazing nephew, who is 15.5 yrs with severe CP and no speech sent his first ever, unassisted email. We as a family clubbed together to buy him the keyboard and 'mouse' he needed.

The email took 35mins, and he sent it to my DH:

Dear Uncle [DH name]

Now I don't have to wait for Dbro/ Dad to rip you when Hotspurs lose!

Ha ha

D Nephew xx

DH has printed it out and says it is 'in a frame going in the office on Monday.' His English suffers when he's emotional, bless him!

Fab! Just fab!

Really lovely! Not surprised you cried .

I loved this . What a lovely family all of you!

But he IBU on the team choice!

Loved on another thread where op's ds who has ( I think) ASD. He recognised something in a situation where he would normally speak out but he stayed quiet this time.... Op says it made her xmas. Anyone else see that and can explain it better?

Merry Christmas, OP. What a wonderful thing to happen.
