About last night. This guy’s happiness was bursting from him. Just three years ago he was broken, depressed, non-verbal, and malnourished with muscle wastage and agoraphobia. Now look at him!

This guy! Good stories change us. Writing “brother. do. you. love. me.” changed me. The change in Reuben is phenomenal. I burst with pride as I stand aside and quietly observe the natural return of his smile. I missed it so much - lots of love from us 😘 🧑🎄 🎄
