What a great memory to document in poem form for your book. Good job on the rhyme and flow. The picture is perfect. You are a special lady to take on the challenge of your work. Good job and thanks for sharing.

This is wonderful, Debra. What you're doing is admirable. Not everyone is cut out for that sort of thing. For example, I always liked to work alone and still do. I prefer solitary work. Others, like you, can give of themselves working with others. Good for you. I enjoyed reading your fine poem of your first day at your new job. Marilyn

Hi Marilyn :) Thank you so much, I appreciate your lovely feedback as always..... I promise I will get round to reviewing soon - I seem to be having a problem with time management at the moment! Best wishes, Debra x

How wonderful that this was such a happy time for you both. School support for such children can be such a brief respite in an otherwise 'normal' school day and longer sessions like this would be just perfect for increasing the level of bonding and interaction. It sounds as if Lukas is an exceptionally lucky boy to have you around!

Good for you! Are your kids in daycare, or old enough for school? I bet that feels good to get back to work again.

Hi Carol :) My kids are 10, 8 & 5 so are all in full time school - the same school where I work actually, so very convenient! It sure does feel great to be back at work and using my brain again!
I took an unpaid career break from South Yorkshire Police in 2010 and then redundancy in 2013 due to a change in both location and shift patterns not fitting in with family life. It's been such a long time to be out of work, I would've gone crazy staying at home all day much longer! I've trained and qualified to be a Teaching Assistant over the last couple of years, so it's great I've found a local job that utilises my new skill set :) Hoorah!
Thank you for your lovely comments!
Best wishes, Debra x

Oh, the healing power of the loving connection!
This is pretty amazing!
The poem is so joyful and confident! It makes the reader smile even without knowing the details. Once reading the notes, it certainly inspires even more respect! :)

Comment from Helen Bach
An excellent poem filled with positivity. Lukas may well thrive with special attention from yourself. My friend runs an Autistic Charity, having two kids with special needs herself. They have been fighting to get people like yourself in post for years. The support becomes less as they get older. A worthwhile occupation and an important poem xx

A courageous and generous soul resonates through these words. I also love your profile... "on my toes and off my rocker"! Your ability to find - and describe - challenging situations is refreshing. Thanks!
