Dear readers,
These are comments and emails from my family and friends. I am truly grateful to have all your support. With all these coming, the more I am inspired to go on with my endeavors. Tonight, I am going to sleep with a smile on my face. Knowing that you are with me in my prayers makes my heart swell.
Thank you very much. Please keep it coming.

Yolette my dear, dear friend, you are inspiring, Miggy is inspiring...you make this seem so easy because you are handling it with strength and quiet grace. I remember your tears and frustrations, but through it all, I could see your determination in helping Miggy be the best that he could be. I am proud to say that he's come a long way. That once quiet child now show a vast improvement and lots of promise, thanks to your loving mother's heart that never cease to give up and continue to hope. I am prouder still of you, for never giving up the fight, for being an inspiration to other parents who think that autism is paralyzing. I have seen you trudge your way through this road that is rough, tough and long. Both you and Miggy are a blessing to those who could never or choose not to understand. Maybe soon, through your ceaseless effort, they would come to accept the fact that autism is not the end of the world for their child. I salute you for your tireless ways in bringing understanding to something difficult to understand, for bringing hope to something that seems hopeless. Carry on my friend, I am praying for both you and Miggy...you've come a long way...God bless you always and in all ways!
“Yolette, hi. I hope you remember me. This is Therese Nicolas from High School. Your story is so inspiring, Miggy's much more. You are both lucky to have each other. I feel your pain more than I can let you know. Hang in there! I'm praying for you and Miggy.”

“I know someone who suffers from autism (middle of the spectrum). Just like Miggy, Molly would flap her hands, couldn't sit still, no eye contact, and sometimes she would scream for no apparent reason. Her parents decided to send her to a regular school rather than send her to a special school. Molly is now in 3rd grade and is doing very well. She doesn't do the regular academic stuff but she can write and read and do simple math. It's her social skills that's improved tremendously. She now can carry a full conversation. She's slowly showing independence. I guess what I'm trying to say is, love, compassion and understanding from people who surrounds Molly, guides her to live a better and meaningful life. With all the wonderful people that surrounds Miggy, showing
unconditional love and understanding I am positive that he too like Molly will succeed in conquering this challenge.”

I read your blog about Miggy boy. Very inspiring and I'm also thinking of doing the same thing about Ojeck. We feel the same thing about our kids, but the most important thing is we accepted it and our family is so supportive about the situation, we remain a loving family to our kids.

TOTAL TRUST...
Mike Krzyzewski is one of the greatest men's college basketball coaches in NCAA history. One of the major reasons he's been able to build his Duke team into such powerhouse is that his players believe in him. They trust his ability to coach and motivate, so they are willing to do whatever he asks them to do.
In 2001, when his team (that eventually won the national championship) was going through a bit of adversity, Duke lost its center, Carlos Boozer, to a broken foot. The next day, after the team realized their big-man-in-the-middle would be out for several weeks, Coach K showed up at a 6 am practice with a smile on his face. One of his players, Mike Dunleavy, latter recalled what Coach told his disappointed charges. "He promised we'd go to the Final Four and win the national championship." He was right.
For a coach you can trust, you'll do anything.
For a GOD you can trust, you'll do son up to Mt. Moriah, there was a lot of trust going on. First, Abraham had to have total confidence that GOD knew what He was doing. After all, Isaac was Abraham's only hope of keeping GOD's promise of producing a nation of innumerable people. To sacrifice him would ruin everything.
And surely Isaac had to have supreme trust in his dad, for they were clearly going up the hill to sacrifice and there was no animal in sight. Plus, any dad/mom who would suggest to his son that he lie down on the altar would normally meet with some serious resistance.
A good coach earns trust, but no one can be trusted as GOD can. He proved it to Abraham by providing a ram, and He proved it to us by providing a lamb. We can give GOD our total trust.
WE CAN TRUST GOD IN ALL THINGS...
