A LOVE LETTER

9/8/2015

EToday Jenna went to a meeting at school about Alec's progress and was given some copies of writing assignments that he did in May of this year.  He was given subjects to write about and I guess I was one. Jen said when she read this one at the meeting that she was fighting back tears, and then some others ended up in the same condition.  Let's see if you like what Alec wrote .  Remember that he does not usually talk in full sentences, just using main words unless we remind him to "talk in sentences", so when he writes, he is still thinking in abbreviated language.

MY GRANDMOTHER NAMED JANENE.  I PLAYED HOT WHEELS WITH GRANDMOTHER.  ALEC WINS.  GRANDMOTHER HAS A SHARKRUISER.  RED SHARKRUISER.  DRIVE DOWN THE HILL. GRANDMOTHER TAKES ME TO THE FAMILY STORE.  I BUY THE TELETUBBIES VHS TAPES.  GRANDMA MAKES VERY YUMMY CHOCOLATE CAKE.  GRANDMOTHER THROWS THE DIRTY CLOTHES DOWN INTO THE LAUNDRY CHUTE.  I LOVE MY GRANDMOTHER.

SHE GIVES HER THE KIDS ATTENTION.  GRANDMA COMES OVER.  PLAYING BOARD GAMES OF SNAKES AND LADDERS.  WE PLAYED CHECKERS.  ALEC WINS.  GRANDMA LOOKS LIKE HAPPY.  GRANDMA WAS SICK.  GRANDMA IS BETTER NOW.  ALEC IS HAPPY.  BECAUSE GRANDMA IS FELL BETTER NOW.


wow

I am overjoyed that he feels this way and is able to communicate things to let us know.  Again, wow.

I must clear up a few things.  I do drive a red car, but it is an Explorer.  However, if he wishes to call it a Sharkruiser, I think that is just fine.  We DO go to The Family Store along with Goodwill, to find his VHS tapes for his collection (which is nearing several hundred tapes!)  I do not have a laundry chute, but I think he wishes I did so I would be like the people in the movie "Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves.".  We do play board games and many times he does beat me, even though I sincerely try to win.  And yes, I was sick but I am much better now.  Jenna had talked to him about things when I was diagnosed and as things went along. He DID listen, and understand, and have feelings about what was going on with me.  

I am most grateful that he loves me.

Okay, here is what he had to say about his mother.  LOL!!!!

MOM LOVES RECIPES.  AND SHE LOVES COOKING.  MOM GOES TO THE BATHROOM.  MOM WASHES HANDS.  AND MOM WASHING DISHES.  MOM TAKING A SHOWER.  AND MOM SITS AND PLAY WITH ALEC AND MYLES.  THROWING CHEW TOYS.  MOM'S BIRTHDAY.  JUNE 27TH.  MOM LOVES CAMPFIRE.  MOM LOVES TO EAT MY DINNER.  MOM LOVES BREAKFAST.  MOM LOVES THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE.  MOM LOVES SNEAK PEEKS.  MOM FEELS HAPPY BECAUSE ALEC STOP BEING NAUGHTY.  MOM LOVES SNOW.  SNOWMAN THE SNOWSTORM.  MOM LOVE AIRPORT.  TAKING FLIGHTS.  FLORIDA FLAMINGOS.

Well.     I guess we all know now that Jenna likes to cook and to eat (actually she is quite thin and does not have a big appetite at all).  And isn't it comforting to know that she practices such good hygiene.   I'm sure that Alec's teacher was glad to hear that she washes her hands after she goes to the bathroom.  LOL  I think the airport, and flights and Florida flamingos comes from the fact that when he was about four or five, he and Jen flew down to Florida two years in a row and he loved it!  We took him to the Tampa Zoo and he watched the pink flamingos for a long. time.  Every year after that , in February, he mentions going to the airport and flying. I think he was saying that Mom appreciates it when he does something naughty and learns not to do it again.

And then there is his story about his dog, Myles.  Oh, boy.

MYLES IS MY ALEC'S DOG.  MYLES PEES ON THE CURTAINS.  MYLES LOVES PLAYING CHEW TOYS.  MYLES LOVES FETCHING THE CHEW TOY.  MYLES IS A BROWN DOG.  LITTLE DOG.  MYLES SLEEPS UNDER ALEC'S BLANKET.  MYLES BARKING AT THE DOOR.  MYLES LOVES DUKE IS MIKE'S DOG.

MYLES PLAYS WITH MONKEY CHEW TOY.  MYLES IN THE KENNEL FOR PEEING ON THE CURTAINS.   MYLES LOVES TO EATING THE BONES.  MYLES SITS HER ON MOM'S LAP.  MYLES LOVES CATS.  MYLES LOVES TAKING BATHS.


So goes the wonderful, crazy, funny, sweet thoughts of one little boy with autism.  Gotta love him!!!!!

                                                             GOD BLESS YOU ALL

    Janene...

    ... was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 11, 2013. This is a place for all of the people who love and care about her to get the information about her treatment and her personal experience of kicking cancer's ass, (sometimes from her daughter's perspective). It's hard to stand by and not be able to do anything to help. Writing gives my mom an outlet and allows both of us to share information during this time. Therefore, we blog :)
