Tim~

Is this the one time it's acceptable to spell it con-GRAD-ulations?

Teen-agers (his classmates) are such beautiful, loving souls whenever you

can get them

to slow down, focus, and take the opportunity to show it.

How excited was about the big day?

I think it's wonderful you made sure he had this opportunity to enjoy the

fruits of his

hard work.

Hi ,

I'm not sure what made of it all. He enjoyed opening presents

on Saturday. I'm sure he had no idea why he was sitting there with

all those people in robes and hats (he refused to wear his cap). We

were a bit worried that he might decide to just lie down on the stage

while he was up there. The girl who was with him is really good

with him. She's a special ed major and says that working with

has shown her that she is on the right career path.

Tim-

What a wonderful, but bittersweet, time for your family. I was delighted to

see walking across the stage. I am quite sure I've only seen him in

the wheelchair! Thanks for sharing and congrats to and all of your

family. May the rest of the journey be equally as rewarding as this first

leg.

Tim,

Talking about mixed emotions for all of you this week. It is incredibly

hard when a parent becomes a guardian. That word sounds so harsh. I think of

it as being an advocate so that no one takes away your child's rights. Bless

you and though.

And now about that graduation!!!! Oh my gosh! I had to watch it a few

times. It is just fantastic when you maximize it. Not only did he get the

loudest ovation but watching him shake each persons hand was also tearful. He

was

the king of the show. He walked so smoothly. You all must have been so

proud. Wow.

Congratulations to and all his family.

's commencement

Hi Everyone,

Big few days. Friday we went to court and and I are now

co-guardians for . It was kind of sad because we had to claim that

he is not capable of even basic care for himself, which is true, but

hard to have to say in court. So he was emancipated for only a few

weeks from May 10 when he turned 18 to June 1 when he lost his rights.

Of course it was a time of total debauchery on his part! (just kidding

of course).

Anyway, on Saturday we had his high school graduation open house and on

Sunday he marched at commencement. Of course he can go to high school

in Michigan until he is 26 and he will do so, but we wanted him to go

through commencement with his class. It was worth it. We have a clip

of his going across the stage on youtube at

> . Even though his circle

of friends formally fell apart in high school and he has had less time

in inclusive settings, it seems that all of that work to support him

socially has paid off. He got the loudest applause and cheering of

anyone, a lot of it coming from his fellow seniors.

Whoever said bittersweet is so right about your last few days. However you

and must have been proud of . Mind you, your concern about

lying down on stage brought a smile to my face. I'm remembering Jess in her

school Christmas plays thinking along the same lines ie will she do what she

has practised? Last year her role was to polish the tin man (from Wizard of

Oz) a job she took to a little too zealously!

Wow Tim,

SO heartwarming ...you can see what a positive impact has made on his

classmates as well as the rest of the school I'm sure. I will never forget

his Circle of Friends from the conference in Indiana? Just amazing.

I am still in shock that is 18!!!! Where does the time go? As I say

this, Peyton is preparing to enter MIDDLE SCHOOL in the Fall.

I love that comment about you and worrying that he would lie down on

the stage...that is Peyton made over! How many parents have been standing in

line to order food or whatever and had their child lie down between times of

them advancing? Just an elite few of us:).

It's strange that you're mentioning you had to go to court to become

guardians. I just learned of that little fact last week from another special

needs dad. He too had the lapse in time of, a couple of months for him,

where the doctors couldn't legally talk to them(the parents) etc. He said

it cost them around 2 or 3 THOUSAND to get this done. Yikes!

Thank you for sharing your special video. Congratulations to and the

rest of his very special class that will forever be better by having

in it!!

Big hugs to from us all,

Corrie and the rest of the crew

Hi Bonnie. Thanks for your comments. It is sad to face the fact that your

child cannot care for himself as an adult. But we have been advocates and

will continue to be advocates. He did do beautifully at graduation. I was

very proud.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I presume guardianship varies from state to state. It only cost us filing

fees. downloaded the forms and filed it herself. was given a

court appointed attorney to represent his interests. The school

psychologist had to testify that he needed guardian care. It was fairly

simple. The judge had to ask if he wanted us to be his guardians. Of

course he could not hear the question or understand it. Our joke though is

that for the first time in 18 years actually spoke and said " No way! "

Tim,

When we went through the guardianship for Mark which was a bit

unsettling they advised us that if we were co guardians we would both have to be

present and sign for anything needed. I am not sure how correct that is. As a

result I am guardian and Charlie is standby by in my absence??? Another road to

cross when they are 18.

Hi Ellen,

We were going to have as guardian and me as backup, but the judge

recommended that we be co-guardians so that if anything happened to us

at the same time there would be a secondary guardian. So my

sister-in-law who is a professor of special education is our secondary.

No one said anything about having to be jointly present. But the laws

are strange!

Tim and ,

I just want to add my voice to the many congratulations on 's behalf. I

know how special the day was for all of you and how much you did to make it

possible for to be so much a a part of the crowd at his school. The

cheering for his success on the stage was testament to his and your hard

work--big, big kudos to you all.

The guardianship part is hard--it is for our parents, as well. All I can add is

that is a lucky man to have such caring, thoughtful, and respectful

parents who are looking out for his best interests. Now, he may have had the,

" NO Way " thought, but my guess is when it all comes down to it, he knows he is

in very good hands.

All the best--my pride in 's accomplishments are evident on my face as I

watch the video for the 4th time!!!

Re: 's commencement

Hi ,

I'm not sure what made of it all. He enjoyed opening presents

on Saturday. I'm sure he had no idea why he was sitting there with

all those people in robes and hats (he refused to wear his cap). We

were a bit worried that he might decide to just lie down on the stage

while he was up there. The girl who was with him is really good

with him. She's a special ed major and says that working with

has shown her that she is on the right career path.

Tim,

Interesting because that is why we did what we did when applying for

guardianship. We were going to do the " co guardianship " as well. HMMM Well

we'll see how it works out. We have back up guardians as well.

Tim,

Just now got a chance to watch 's commencement. It brought tears to my

eyes. I'm impressed with his caning skills. I don't think he was doing that the

last time I saw him.

I remember meeting several of the children in his circle of friends, maybe in

Houston? It seems they too mentioned how much they gained from being close to

. I think our children have a gift that draws people in and makes them feel

like better people because of it.

Congrats! You and should be proud. Hope to see you at the conference.
