What does a great day look like?!

Here's what a great day looks like in Sharon's household - her son Derek has had a really tough year and been in and out of hospital many times, the most recent time being only two weeks ago, but is now on new medication and is feeling great.  So great, in fact, that he scored second best in the Special Olympics golf tournament, skills division, out of a field of around 40 golfers... and won a silver medal!!

Sharon says it was not only a great day for Derek, but for her whole family!

Stories like this just bring a surge of "that's what it's all about" to one's heart, don't they?  We all love it when our kids, young and old, achieve something that once we would never have thought they could.  It's magic just to see them beat the odds and come up smiling.  Derek has had a tough year, but he's really come up smiling this time!

Writing styles

I came across a card written by Francie the other day and wondered why do people with PWS all write the same?  Has anyone else noticed this?  And then I wondered whether all people with disabilities write similarly, and that led me to wondering why.  It took Francie a long time to learn to write - in any style - and she had to have a special triangular grip thing on her pencil so that she could hold it better.  Francie has never had GHT, so I don't know whether that would make a difference as far as the writing style goes, but it's never really changed over the years.

Would anyone like to hazard a guess, or offer an opinion?
