But it really is a lesson in just trying to understand people as individuals. Aunt Margie was an early example for me.<BR/><BR/>That is so amazing because that is exactly how it is between Adrian and Julian!

But no worry for I am the kind ...Oh my am I behind! But no worry for I am the kind to catch up! I loved your tribute to your Aunt Margie. Beautiful and she sounds like she was quite the delightful soul.<BR/><BR/>My Danish grandfather had a sister who had Asperger's. Part of the condition is that you are terribly self-centered and she had a strong case of it and so everthing was about her and she talked nonstop and was terrible with social cues. Back then this was an undiagnosed thing and she suffered terribly at the hands of society who just did not understand her, this "annoying and self-centered" woman. Now, my cousin, from the same Danish line, has Asperger's, as her father, my uncle, recently discovered. As a result people respond to her with more compassion and care... it truly is tragic how easily we disregard those with mental illnesses and do not take time to care unless there is a label afixed to them. I am sure your Aunt Margie felt your genuine love and connection and loves this beautiful tribute, wherever she may be!<BR/><BR/>As for this post, beautiful! Loverboy is Lil' Mischief's greatest love and to see that boy adore his daddy and that man be such a daddy to him is priceless and I am honored to share in it all. This picture reminds me of that! And you Gina, soulful is the word that comes to mind when I think of you! Loved the picture and the post!Miz BoheMiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684634451330079565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28673298.post-1153423144632167602006-07-20T15:19:00.000-04:002006-07-20T15:19:00.000-04:00Hey Brian!
