We went recently to a concert by the local symphony and opera. They do this annually for families with special-needs children, recognizing the difficulty these families have of attending such events otherwise.



This was the first time, for a number of reasons, that we have been able to go. We're glad we did. I don't know if Anthony enjoyed it, but we were moved at the sight of other individuals with special needs clearly enjoying themselves and expressing it in a way that would normally not be acceptable in such a venue.

The picture above is of our daughter, Anthony, my wife, and our younger son apparently urging us to live long and prosper. As with so many other pictures we take, we try to use the one in which Anthony is both looking at the camera and smiling--a rare combination.
