Glad you guys have come to a mutual solution for the issue at hand.

I hope everything works out

Hope it is a good experience for him and that he can meet others like him

Sorry to hear that you cannot find services for your son. He is a fine boy though and you have taught him well (even without help) and I think he will do fine in life.

I have achondroplasia (which is another word for dwarfism), My parents never acknowledged that about me when I was young, so never had me diagnosed. I finally got diagnosed as an adult (after I went to see a endocrinologist), and I find that most service/help, etc. is geared for children. Even the endocrinologist that I saw was surprised my parents never went and had me diagnosed.

I hope they make a decision soon and that it is in your favor.

That's too bad that you won't qualify for help. Hopefully if you get denied, they will grant it to you on appeal.

It's amazing how far your son has come along. I agree with the lady, you guys are exceptional parents

Hope you get a nice sizeable amount back . You can save it for your son, for his future.

Wow!!! Sorry to hear about your acquaintance.

i really admire you for what you have done for your son and how strongly you advocate for him. It is because of you that he, unlike many others, has completed HS and is thriving well. I know you will face these problems head on with the resoluteness that is in your nature and get him the help he needs and ruthlessly advocate for him.

I wish I had a mom like you. She refused to see that I have a form of achondroplasia (which accounts for my smallness and irregularity in size) and never got me tested for it. Instead she used to berate me for being so small and odd looking and causing her embarrassment. It wasn't till I was an adult and I was seeing a neurologist for some spinal issues, that he mentioned the the achondroplasia could be a cause of it. After that, I started doing research on it.

was it easy for you to learn to paint?

Jengh, you are a very good artist.

I like your color scheme.

Consistency and routine is tantamount.

Once that starts changing, it means problems are on the horizon.

Change

The art of change,

A reinvention,

A reawakening,

of what we once were,

to what we are now and beyond,

Bigger, better, beyond all.

the chrysalis budding.

Shaking out it's wings.

To fly, fly like the eagle.

The wings take shape.

The old is the past,

the past is dull, worn out, boring.

Newness is good. One must change

One must change.

If one is to ever be accepted.

Loved, cared for,

change is a cry.

a cry for acceptance. a yearning that is never slaked.

I must follow that road of change.

Else the eons of time will erase.

My existence.

My life.

My very footprint.

my best friend's mom, who is like a surrogate mother to me.

I hope her fight against breast cancer will be successful.

I'm glad you like my poetry.

I write when I am thoughtful.

I don't always see the light.

Tears fall

Eyes raised to the heavens.

a thin, strangled voice utters

"why"

a heartwrenching sob, a muttering of prayers,

darkness falls.

the darkness of night

the eternal dark of the night.

fears abound,

tears at the soul,

weakness springs eternal.

the eternity of night,

night that never ends,

eternal darkness

why?

A ray of light shines down slowly,

soft, warm light that does not blight.

Falls on thy face,

covered with thy tears,

a voice utters forth,

I be with you always,

trust in me, for I shall be your light.

Nice poem.

Fits my mood for the night.

Very touching poem.

You're a good poet and a nice person who doesnt deserve all this crap.

Life will get better. You will see. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Just take it slow and enjoy things for now.

Is meeting this guy helping you get over your ex, in any shape or fashion?

I've learned that meeting new people, does help you get over breakup faster.

I've lived most of my life trying to make everybody else happy, but it turn, I've been unhappy most of my life and felt alone.

Tis ironic.

The uncertainty of life

Brings upon itself a quandry.

A fear,

A tugging, nameless, gut wrenching fear.

Fear of the unknown,

where one walks alone into the dark,

walking silently and fearfully,

peering at the light,

a light growing dimmer and dimmer,

a snuffing of the soul,

a snuffing of the heart,

My heart yearns,

my heart craves,

a light, to chase away the blight,

that haunts my soul,

that haunts my feelings,

damning me to walk the halls of darkness,

I yearn for comfort,

a comfort that will not come,

a peace that will not come,

a destiny of pain and sorrow,

only to be quenched when I find my heart.

Ensconced in all that confusion,

all that convolution of love and hate,

sorrow and pain,

mistrust and fear,

the convoluted parts of my soul.

A soul that begs to see the light of day.

A light that only I can provide,

for happiness comes from inside,

and from nowhere else.

It's hard to let go of something. Tell me about it. I have a tough time letting go of things in my life, people in my life. It hurts when people move on and leave you behind.

But, you have to go on with your life. Meet new people, start new projects. Get involved with new things. That is the only way to get over something. Don't dwell or stew on it. It only prolongs the hurt.

I should listen to my own advice.

I am ALWAYS seeking validation from people, friends, etc. I tend to have a very bad self-image and think badly of myself to the point I rather believe in what people say about me, but then if people say TOO many good things about me, I tend NOT to believe it either.

Yeah, I seek validation from outside sources. Not a good thing either.

Maybe she trusts you as a friend and told that to you because you are her "friend" and friends usually tell each other about their dates and stuff.

Some men are too cowardly and too much of a wuss to end things. They rather come out smelling like roses, so they act like a butthead to you until you get fed up and end things yourself.

Men need to grow a backbone. At least some of them.

Put up your profile and still wait to see what happens after three weeks.

There is still hope.

You guys are broken up. I don't see why it would be a problem to put up your profile and pic.
