Staying connected with good friends

So we have finally connected Luke with his best friend Zach in Kennewick.  Zach has a computer in his room and the two of them spent the afternoon "playing" games together.  Luke snuggled into his bed with my laptop and you wouldn't know there was a screen keeping the two apart.  It is a blessing the two can stay connected.  Zach and Luke both have a brother with high functioning autism.  I believe Zach and Luke share an enormous capacity for patience and compassion. The two share similar frustrations, too.  I'm so glad Luke has found such a friend so early in his life.  Because they are both home schooled, it will be a great incentive to finish up schoolwork to have a play date with each other...:0) not to mention that his mom is one of my all time best friends forever...I missing her greatly at the moment..but we, too, have plans to make our yogi tea and sit and talk like the good old days...although I'll miss her neighbors plenitude of garden goods and the out grown clothing..it will be just as good as long as I get a glimpse of a naked Abbey running around in the background :) I love the Brooks and I'm thankful for Skype to keep us together..oxoxox
