Eccentric Soap-Maker, Fanatical Fibre Artist, & All-Around Hippie

Well, the Transition Ceremony went fabulously, Benjamin survived, and many many pictures were taken, but this is by far my favorite. I might get around to uploading the rest of them but this one i had to share straightaway ^_^



And sure, that's an adorable picture, but it's especially sweet because for the past few years Z has never readily allowed B to hug him and it had turned into a rather intricate game of cat and mouse between the two of them: B trying to get hugs and Z thwarting him. But this evening, when everyone was giving B his congratulatory hugs, Z spontaneously came up to B and gave the above bear hug. It was the Best Present anyone could have given B. And you can just see the joy on his face. ♥ :'D



. o O(and also my mom begged off ostensibly because of the heat, so we were free of her negativity :D)

We just got word: Josh was accepted into a RHA Howell home in Oxford! We go to sign papers tomorrow morning and they will be moving him on Friday!!

. o O (it may not be the Perfect Place for him long term, but it's a start and these people have extensive resources and several other facilities so if this one doesn't seem to be working out for him, they will almost certainly find another one that will!)(and oh, shucks, darn, he'll be moving into another LME which means we'll be losing his all but useless case manager of the past few years)
