Day 968 – Grayson’s Journey


Dear family and friends
Grayson accompanied me to my physical therapy session today as he usually does. They really do like him there. All of us “regulars” do our exercises in a room that is not huge but very adequate for what we need. As a result the regular patients tend to get to know each other over time. Today the staff treated Grayson with cookies – he was thrilled! When he was asked if they were good he responded, “Yes!” A fellow patient commented that it was the first time she had heard him talk. I asked him a few questions to show that he does respond in one or two word responses. One of the questions I asked him was who was the headmaster of his high school. He responded “Mr. Bachmann.” Upon hearing the name, the patient said that her daughter went to Flintridge Prep also and it turns out that she graduated the year after Grayson. We then had a long chat as we were doing our exercises about Grayson’s experiences at prep. She was shocked and thrilled to learn that Grayson was one of the leads in My Fair Lady when her daughter was attending.

Isn’t it amazing when someone you assume is practically a stranger turns out to have traveled some of the same ground with you in life? It truly is a small world.
Pax!
