Empathy

I forgot to mention that it is a regular occurence to have S quickly respond, "Are you okay?" when she sees someone get hurt or someone says OW! I don't think a day goes by now that I don't hear "I love you." many times a day. It's just so wonderful that I forget about the years that I never heard it. I get random hugs and kisses now. I don't care to ever look back, only to appreciate what i have now. More importantly is to recognize what SHE has now. Her anxiety has lessened significantly. She is more able to show the world who she really is. That makes the world pretty darn lucky.
