It’s been a little while since I haven’t really talked a great deal about Gavin lately. I suppose the reason for that is that there isn’t a great deal that’s new. Gavin isn’t struggling with everything that the boys and I are. He carries his world with him and his mom moving out has no real impact on him because his life moves on just the same.

Having said that, Gavin has made some decisions today and I’m sorta beside myself with amazement. I felt it was important to share this because it’s really cool.

Gavin spent some time working with my Dad today and when he came home, he proclaimed that he wants to get a job.

This isn’t something I’ve ignored but it’s just not been something that wasn’t practical for a million reasons. Gavin has a ton of challenges and his health is fragile. He’s also never really expressed any interest in working before. I’m certainly not opposed to it but I’m not sure what direction to go in.

Gavin has decided what he wants to do and I’m totally on board with it.

You may recall that Gavin used to do alot of writing. It’s been awhile since he has written anything and to be completely honest, I had feared he was no longer able to do things like this. Thankfully, I was wrong.
