Today is a perfect day because not only is there sun shining on fresh snow, Hunter-Bear is sitting on the sofa next to me playing his XBox 360 while I blog. :-)
When Hunter met with Miss Pat from Community Mental Health the other day she asked him how long he thought he should remain hospitalized. His answer to her was, and I'm paraphrasing based on the voicemail he left me, "four to five months -- because (he) still has things he needs to work on."
That. blew. me. away.
Hunter has always been such an amazing kid. I'm not sure if he's amazing in spite of his Asperger's/bipolar issues or because of them. Either way, he is amazing and we have the most wonderful conversations. For instance, today, our conversations ranged from the definition of a mortgage vs. a lease, how Western Union works, buying a car vs. having a car payment and I showed him how to use an ATM. His curiosity is so broad and so deep and I thoroughly enjoy having the opportunity to explain these things to him.
Now if I could just find a way to bridge the enormous gap between Connor and me...and if Matthew lived closer...
