Wow, he got his letter today saying that he was one of the chosen.
And congratulations. He is one of 50 to get to go and talk to congress. I've got to admit I was sure he wasn't going to get a invitation after I registered him for the chance. Because I found that someone had put the application on a forum that is a place that others like me work. And it had me worried, one of their kids is just the right age to be a Kids Speak Up Child this year. I thought she would be chosen. But Derrick and his Dad will go. I'm so happy I finally can make up for the time I took away his Dad's chance to see what a great job Derrick does. I've seen him many times. But Dad had to go to the hospital with me 2 years ago. So I'll buy my own air ticket or if my husband decides we drive then we drive. He is really leaning that way. And its okay with me. Something really neat could happen that way. I'm just so tickled for my son. Now to get all the things done that have to be done to talk to congress. And I still have one wish that I would like to get for him. He wants to meet the president. The last time, all that happened was the first lady sent him some awesome pictures. Wish I knew someone that knew the president. Donna |

Dear Donna,
Great news. I am happy for your son and happy for you. Quote:
 I can't help you with this one.I don't know anyone in power. But I remember a theory that all of us know someone who knows people in power. . . . sort of like that degrees of separation thing. M. |

He has epilepsy. And he will talk about what its like to have epilepsy.
But not make epilepsy his life. This year will be a good one for him to go. He can really give them the good and bad. His dad is his parent going with him. But I'm going for the Public Policy part. I fell the last time we all went. First time his dad ever went. He spoke to congress without his parents. Just someothers from Indiana. So this will be nice. |
