Lostboy Update!

I have a quick highlight to share. I received a call today from Lostboy's Mother. I was nervous because she can be a pill when she calls. HOWEVER, she called today to let me know he made the Honor Roll at his new school! Lostboy is succeeding. I can't even explain what a highlight that was for me today!

Life is good!

Late!
