But as you say, a night like you had shines a light of hope.

Is Osem Jnr still in love?
Hope you are feeling better Osem as I have not really had time to be on the CF lately as my Mum has been attending hospital quite a bit lately and my Father in Law is in hospital atm so it's been a really busy time for me lately.

Thanks guys. Yes it is hard and the bigger he gets the more difficult it gets (he's 6'2" now, as strong as an ox and has all the hairy bits & somewhat obnoxious traits which accompany boys of his age) but now matter how trying, there's never a day during which he doesn't do something which brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. He's a treasure in so many ways and I'll never stop loving him.
Over the weekend I took him for some lunch to our favourite local café. As I was paying I noticed another middle aged guy standing in the queue behind me who'd been watching my lad (as he was being a bit noisy) and we looked at each other very briefly but I thought no more of it. On my way out I looked over to where he'd been sitting and realised he too was with a teenage lad with special needs - his son/grandson I presume. I wanted to go back in and say something but didn't and I regret that now. It's really hard when you feel so isolated and I dare say he'd have welcomed a chat with someone who knows exactly what he's going through. I'll keep my eyes open for them in future and if our paths do cross again I'll say hello.

Great Dilli. Let's hope this is just the start of a change in your fortunes.
