Seth is Ten!

Here he is. The first kid in this family to reach the double digits.

Seth is imaginative, determined, compassionate, and smart. He is most in his element with any kind of STEM project. He’s our nature-lover and an outside of the box thinker. He is deeply loved and has many in his corner cheering him on.

Back to school season for this kiddo is met with much anxiety and trepidation. Although he wishes this were not true, this has also led to challenges with staying safe and participating in school.

Let me fast forward to the present; Seth is participating in a long-term therapy program outside of our home. Although everyone on team Seth agrees this is our current best course of action, our hearts are heavy. Sorrow, grief, guilt and sadness are in a constant brain swirl. But we also feel pride at being reminded of Seth’s determination and seeing him positively transition to a new school and therapy program. We will always continue to cheer him on. As ever, we love him deeply and see enormous potential in him.

These pictures are from last weekend when Jon and I went to visit. It was not the way any of us imagined celebrating his 10^th birthday, but some love-filled days none the less.   

 

 

Love you Seth!
