When I came up from the porch this morning after seeing Emil off to school, Everett was looking out the window here in the office.

“Look what Scott did!” he exclaimed, watching Emil chop his walker along the driveway to meet the bus. “We can get the van out today. Scott’s a good guy, isn’t he!”

While watching Telemiracle on Sunday afternoon, one presenter reminded me so much of Emil that I cried. A teenager, he had come onstage with his walker and was so eager and so thrilled to be there ... his expressions, his posture, everything matched Emil's ... I don't know why I got all tearful. Maybe because it was the first time I've ever seen someone so much like Emil? Haven't figured it out yet; all I know is that I was deeply touched by the sight of him.
