Well
11 years ago today one little shrimp came into the world just a little early.
One Day Old!
Since
then he has grown into one amazing young man who I adore and am so very very
proud of in many ways.
Ben
has had a hard year both mentally (SAT’s!) and physically but has always
carried on with his relentless smile & only a small about out grumblings.
There
have been lots of achievements this year – 2 Karate Grading’s , Swimming 400m!,
Going swimming ON HIS OWN with his mate to make but a few.
In
2 days time Ben will leave Primary school to head off the great unknown world
of Grammar school, he is excited & nervous as we both are but this is a
challenge we are both ready for (ish!).
He
has an amazing group of friends who have been there through thick & thin
and I’m sure there will be there for him at Grammar School. I can’t believe how much he has changed in
the last 6 months alone, to say we are proud is a huge understatement, and his
finally school report reflects just how far he has come both academically &
physically.
So
to the Summer – a well earned trip to St Louis to see Dr Park & all at St
Louis Children Hospital. We are so
looking forward to them seeing him & also so we can pick their brains about
the concerns we have with Ben. One thing
is for sure this has a whole different feel to the last time we went. The finally bonus is we are heading off to
Orlando for a spot of Disney Adventures & cheeky dolphin swimming.
What
more can we say but Thank You to all for you for helping Ben get to were he is now &
who know where he will go next! The Skies the limit!
