Today was a beautiful day for a 5k along the C&O canal! Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for the 2025 Turkey Tumble to support autism awareness! After the walk we went to breakfast at Metro 29 diner. As I sat and looked at all those around the table I knew how happy Michael would have been. So many who loved him. His wonderful teachers, Yai Cass, Uncle Shane, Aunt Cydney and Aunt Beanie! I knew Michael was telling his heavenly family about all of these beautiful souls who have been on this journey with us. He was talking to me tonight! Wanted me to know he was near. I went to Walmart to pick up a prescription. As I walked by an end cap I noticed the small license plates. I originally noticed Ella's name. But then I saw Bubba, not once but twice. We used to call Michael "Bubba". I showed Sarah. She stopped and looked at me and told me last week she prayed that Michael found a friend in heaven. You'll seee Avery's name. Avery is the two year old niece of one of my best friends who passed when she was two. I know they have found each other. We love you Michael and we miss you everyday!

And big congrats to Tyler who came in first place in the 5k run for his age group!!!
