[nagdu] One Small Victory

[Debby Phillips]

Thanks for sharing that story, Dudley.  It's so wonderful when 
stuff like that happens.

Every time my granddaughter interacts with Neena I almost cry.  
You see, my granddaughter, who is nine is autistic.  She's fairly 
high functioning in some ways, but in others she is not.  So when 
she hugs Neena and laughs and plays with her, I am so filled with 
gratitude for this.  We worried about how she would react to 
Neena.  And how Neena would react to her.  Neena loves her and 
happily plays with her.  I know that some people would say that I 
shouldn't let Neena interact with her so early on.  But all the 
naysayers can say what they like, if they knew how wonderful this 
relationship is between the two, they couldn't deny how good it 
is.  If Neena can help this little girl as well as do her job for 
me then I say yea, and thank God for such a wonderful gift to me, 
and to our family.    Peace,    Debby and Neena
