It is your big day. I have my month end closing and I have to work until 5 p.m. The last few days you have been awesome... alert, happy, calm, and eating pureed meals very well in the afternoon.

Melissa has been working on updating the website and has done a great job. She has incorporated a beautiful song when you open it that is so appropriate for you.

Today you will be going to Piscataway High School to be part of the Drivers Ed classes. You will be leaving at 11 a.m. and return at 3 p.m. This is your first trip without me but you will be in good hands with Aubree and Heather. Matt will be at the high school when you get there and he will take good care of you. I wrote your story for all to hear and Matt will read it to the classes. You will also have your photo album with pictures from before and now. I am so proud of you Aaron, I hope everything goes well and you can help even one person to see the consequences of their actions when driving. Matt will be taking pictures for me. I thought it would be nice to get some shots of you with the kids.

I will be thinking about you the entire time and hoping and praying all goes well. It is time for me to start trusting others that they will be there for you and give you what you need.

It is now 3 p.m. and I heard from Matt and he said everything went very well. You were great and the high school kids seemed to be truly moved by your story and seeing you there. Matt said you could hear a pin drop that is how quiet it was in the classroom.

I am so proud of you Aaron! God Bless!
