Feeling Ungrateful :(
It’s been bothering me for a long time that I can’t seem to get around to responding to the constant flow of encouragement on my work. I read every comment and appreciate tremendously the time and effort taken to leave them. I wish I could reciprocate in kind and will try harder to do so in the future.
The past year was one of the most difficult I’ve had in a long time, but I …

Letter to Our Adopted Son
I wrote this letter to my son a few weeks ago, triggered by a homework assignment he had in Psychology. I just wanted to share part of it. He is going through a rough time being rejected by most of his peers (he has mild autism). The transition to adulthood is not an easy one.
Dear Son,
Being adopted as our son means that we made a conscious decision to have you in our lives and we wen…
