school issues & stuff

[Guest guest]

I've learned a lesson by reading all these posts. It seems that I've

taken a lot for granted these past years dealing with Josh's school

and with the staff at our CF clinic. I always assumed that as

professionals, compassion was a given. Apparently not. It seems that

some of these people have become jaded in their many years of

service. This year we intend to give a special thank you to those we

have taken for granted.

Every year we bake cookies for the kids to give to my ex, the

grandparents and their buss driver. It's our way of giving something

that the kid's have make themselves. We also make homemade cinnamon

ornaments. These go in the gift baskets as well. They mean more to

people because of the effort put into them.

On the third of December Josh goes to clinic. I intend to take both

the doctor and the social worker special ornaments with 's name

on the back. Every year when they trim their tree they will remember

Josh, and how he apprecieated their efforts. I'm taking a huge basket

of homemade cookies to leave at the nurses station. Another big thank

you.

The school office will get cookies, along with the sweet ladies in

the lunch room that give him extra portions every day. God know's

there are not enough cookies for the thank you's that I owe. But hey,

one step at a time....

All of these people have made our lives easier in one small way or

another. Who knows, mabe it will keep them from becoming among the

jaded. Thank you all for the insight.
