Today was a great day - you were smiling big even though you have another cast on today - this is for you left arm - the help the tendons - you were ok but I could tell you were very uncomfortable - Luther and Dennis came to see you and they were astonished as how great you look - as I tell everyone Lee is here - just right now he is taking a break so that he can continue this story that mom has begun - you are a miracle and you have such a "glow" about you that just makes everyone smile and be happy - this is a great challenge to everyone that sees and talks to you - you are not only our special child - but a special person from Tifton Georgia and I am sure you will be turning Tifton around in a couple months with your smile and sparkle - we can not wait to we are eating a southern bar-be-que at the farm - you even mention it every now and then - I do not have the heart to tell you that you will not be working in Albany - this is just a subject that at the moment we can elude - as I think you in your heart believe that you will be working in a few weeks - they are slowly taking your "medical world" away from you - today they remove your feeding tube and you said it was several feet long - as I am sure it was - but you were glad it was gone - so now just got to keep eating - as I do know you will not drink that "ensure" and now there is no way to "pour it down" - Lee all the therapists are so proud of you as everyday  - they all say you are so cooperative and your smile really "turns them on" - you make them "jump start" their day - so with all these girls happy - you can only imagine just how I feel - you are my son and I love you so very much - to here you say thanks, to everyone this is great - you would have it no other way than to have the "family candy bowl" in your room - and a sign that says "Happy 4th of July - please have some" - as I have always said - everyone you knew you made sure they had what they wanted - so Lee you have to many people pulling for you - I still must find a way to build a house at the farm that you can get in and fix the house in Tifton - but with the grace of God - I know I can  - and being able to just look at you and your smile along with dads - I know I can. . .love mom
