(PDF): http://bridges4kidsnewsdigest.c.topica.com/maadRLlabjunNcfskSIbafpLKt/
"Dear Michaels mom...I love you so much...you are the best mother ever.
Love Michael" - Those words are from the only letter that my son has ever
written to me. Through the use of an old typewriter at the Community Respite
Center, my son found his voice. Before that time, he had never expressed emotion
in such a candid way.
