Hey everyone, hope Halloween was okay. We had an okay weekend. This is the first house that I have lived in where there were trick or treaters. It made me very sad and excited. We have lived in the country for most of my son's life and there was only a party at school, no trick or treat. I have waited for this moment, now he is 19. I saw the families out there and all the cut customes, actually having someone come to my door and it filled me with so many emotions. This is the neighborhood that I wished I would have raised him in. There were flocks and flocks of kids and parents, happy faces. My son hid in his art studio, I think it is hard to the person on the outside looking in or vice versa. He was invited to a Halloween party and I was so anxious as he has a history of car accidents and I knew there would be drunk drivers. At the same time, he finally was invited, which is so rare, how could I hold him back? Luckily I found a friend that would take 20.00 and do the driving to ease my mind (he does drive himself to school) and we had nothing for a custome and so he came up with going as Robert Smith from The CURE. He looked great, although his hair is a lot longer and blond. But we did the make up pretty well and I took pictures, an event we just have missed over the years. I was nervous, but again, he had a safe driver. I think he had fun. Everything that just seems like normal happy events for people has always come with pain for us...but this one was better. It took everything out of him and he was sick the next day with a stomach ache from party food (he is a vegetarian and not a junk food eater), so not much homework got done. He is super thin, so we really struggle to keep weight on him. Well, enough blabbing. I pray everyone has a good day or that there are moments of the day that are good. I am trying to look for happy moments not happy days and be more realistic...like if my dog does something silly or if I even hear my son laugh once...I embrace it.
