Talking with support staff at the online SIDES school (they are in Victoria), Nicole was able to get quite a bit of 'accommodation' so that she could talk about the themes in Hamlet for example versus writing a long essay. <br />Hugs and hope...Let them shine on you in Kansas...<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459942886292750711.post-4654432918604720782014-02-09T04:37:36.174-08:002014-02-09T04:37:36.174-08:00What a joy to read about the incredible progress f...What a joy to read about the incredible progress for Riley. To see him on skates and read about his determination to overcome daily challenges is inspiration for us all. I quickly checked to see if I could join the Calgary event but timing doesn't work for me. Riley will do fabulous, his story not only speaks to the tragedy of Lyme but shows everyone that there is hope. Hope it's taped for us to see.<br /><br />I hope to get to Calgary this spring and see all of you in person.

Your comment about, "the life lessons and inner growth that has taken place for him are richer and deeper than many of us experience in a lifetime"; rings so, so true. Talking with him this summer several times and over the phone this winter we get the sense that although he has missed that "normal" transitional experience from teen to young adult; he has gained a maturity, determination and appreciation of life and his family beyond his years. And now, Riley and the rest of his family head out on a mission to educate others, change the attitudes of the medical community and eradicate "the Lyme experience" so that no person has to suffer through an ordeal similar to the one Riley experienced. An awesome and inspiring example for others to emulate! Hats off to the Lindberg family!!!<br />Uncle B & Auntie C<br /> Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348936126186553114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459942886292750711.post-59164823545841365522013-09-17T22:54:59.795-07:002013-09-17T22:54:59.795-07:00As always, your posts are such a transparent revea...As always, your posts are such a transparent revealing of what's goin' on in your lives...

It may possibly be a more befitting description of the arduous "Lindberg Lyme Journey". Stones seem like such an easy carry. A family that moved a mountain; and now continue to excavate the remnant hills. We look sooooo forward to seeing you all this summer.<br />Love,<br />Uncle B & Auntie C & the rest of the HoagiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459942886292750711.post-15900902600093863782013-06-20T08:05:33.530-07:002013-06-20T08:05:33.530-07:00God is good!God is good!Ray Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708831858902796930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459942886292750711.post-64612998534928393542013-04-21T16:40:33.811-07:002013-04-21T16:40:33.811-07:00What an incredible and inspiring journey!
