This handsome dude is my great nephew, Jesiah. He is 12 years old and I love him to pieces. Jesiah is one of the sweetest, most loving kids in the world. My journaling block says he is: loving, kind, thoughtful, gentle, curious, smart, handsome and silly. All true. He is also annoying, unpredictable, moody, and socially inappropriate. Last year he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism.

My niece Cassie is his mom and she is raising him alone. Jesiah has struggled in school, church, and anywhere there is structure. Sometimes buildings with flourescent lighting send him downhill fast. As extended family, we offer all the love and support we can, especially to Cassie. Through a set of miraculous circumstances, Jesiah will attend a new school this fall that addresses the special needs of kids with autism. A van will even come to pick him up and bring him home everyday so Cassie does not have to worry about the commute. We are so thankful to God for this provision and ray of hope for our sweet boy! The staff is amazing and has told Jesiah that he is such a smart and bright boy. Change is difficult for him and they are helping him adjust to the year ahead. Here's to a GREAT year, Buddy!

When Jesiah saw this layout he said, "Is that me?" I assured him it was and he said, "Thank you! I really AM handsome!"
