    Thanks Karin – he looks cool in it as well – he’s kind enough to let me use the story and his hat image. He really is much nicer than me. Great to be able to be proud about your kids and be humbled by their generosity. Both my sons are wonderful adults.

    Hey AffectMachine, great to hear that your son is getting back to normal. I know that God got itcovered; all is restored. I also know that you are very nice, but I can keep a secret.
  • Thanks Ulrike for keeping the secret secret.

    Keith, I haven’t read your story before… it’s so well-written and so touching. Glad to hear you son is feeling better! Would love to hear updates and see more of his work, too.

  • Thanks Gili – the story is from a little while ago – I just added the picture to make more sense – my son is getting on with things – the knitting has slowed down but he is into free forms – he makes it up as he goes.
