Well, he did it!! My older son, who led me to these forums, took off yesterday with a school group to Rome and then Greece ! He's touring Rome as we speak. Not one bit nervous (unlike his mom and dad)....just full of excitement for the trip!!!! A huge step forward for him, I'd say.

My thanks and gratitude to his cybermoms for all the help and support which got him to this point . As you may remember, 5 years ago I wasn't sure that I'd get this young man through 7th grade without homeschooling him and he has just blossomed over the past 4 years. I can't tell you how proud I am of him.

Dreams do come true .

Be well my frineds,
Tessa

Oh Tessa...I feel all weepy with tears of joy for you and your wonderful young man

I sure do remember those days when you were so very worried for his future and just look at him now :

pat yourself heartily on the back too my friend....cos your diligence and loving perseverance and encouragement helped to provide the stepping stones for him to find his wings and fly

Bless you, Chemar. I'm a bit teary myself!!

We're off for a few days R&R with my younger guy. Wow...times do change!

Take care,
Tessa

Hi Tessa,
That's wonderful news!
I hope he has a great time. What an amazing experience that will be for him.
Thanks for letting us know.
