I was going through my son Matthew’s backpack when I saw an envelope in the bottom of it. Immediately, I knew it was a “thank you” card from one of his 36 . Totally not necessary since my Christmas gifts to them are my way of saying, “Thank you”. I 37 I read it quickly. And then I stopped.

I 38 the card and read it again. One word caught my attention. “I love working with our Matthew.” One word. Our. That one word 39 the meaning of the sentence for me. If she had written “I love working with Matthew”, I would know that she loves working with my son. 40 by adding that one word, “our,” it meant “I love working with this boy who 41 here, is accepted here and we all take responsibility in caring for.”

I 42 knew this of course, see a blog I wrote previously, But it’s always good to be 43 . In that blog post I mentioned ten reasons why his 44 is the right place for him. Since that blog we have had his IEP (Individualized Education Program) meeting, where I was 45 of that feeling again. In that meeting, someone 46 “Everyone loves Matthew. We all love Matthew”. And it was genuine and 47 . As we went around the room and the staff 48 us on information about Matthew, it was apparent it went way beyond sharing what he is doing 49 and behaviorally. Each person had a unique little 50 to tell about Matthew. Stories that show that they really know who Matthew is and that they 51 him.

In fact just today I had written a note in his communication book that it was 52 Matthew to see new snow and not be able to play in it. Later in the day I got an email and a picture of Matthew 53 with snow in a big container inside the school.

As I was reflecting on this, I realized that as a family we are really lucky 54 school isn’t the only place where they think of him as “our Matthew”. It 55 to other parts of our lives as well — our friends, our family, our neighborhood, and our church.
