from my friend Cephas on Facebook:
Hey Jon, I just saw your post about Logan. I'm not really sure what to say ... It seems like at every turn in life we're confronted with things that seem unexpected and daunting, but then you get in there and realize that those are the things that actually make a life. I hope that you will have the strength when you need to be strong, and I know that you will have the wisdom to see grace when it is given. Keep rockin', old friend.

Cephas, those are just about the most meaningful words anyone has said during this whole ordeal. I really appreciate it. It gets hard some days to remain positive. It takes energy and creativity to reach out to Logan and keep trying to get him to interact. Some days I just don't have it. But overall, he's doing okay, and I think in the long run he'll adjust. But I think you're right -- this makes life worth living. It gives me a purpose. If I can help him to have a good life -- that would make it all worth it. Thanks for your words, Big Ceeph!
