It was so special

Just wanted to share this as it made my day.

Christmas Day - just the four of us - me, my 18 year old daughter, 13 year old DS and 11 year old DS. I'm a single mum with no extended family and was feeling anxious about the whole thing.

My 11 year old is non verbal. The only word he says regularly is Mum.
They were all so happy and grateful for the presents I had chosen for them.
My daughter and 13 year old DS kept saying "Thank you", and then as clear as anything I heard another little voice say "Thank you".

I'm going through a really tough time, and hearing him say that just made the day so extra special.
It was just amazing!

One of my FB memories that popped up today was my daughter walking unaided for the first time when she was nearly 4.

These firsts are so delayed for us, but wonderful when they come.
