As my favorite holiday approaches, I reflect on our family.  A whirlwind year, full of blessings, gifts, expectations, a trip across the ocean, challenges, grief, loss, love, smiles, joy, and undeniable HOPE. Last night while cleaning up our dinner table, I glanced at James' table spot, littered with rice and meat, and smirked.  I asked him with a quiet smile, who sat here?  He was washing the table anyway. He loves to help in anyway he can.  He smiled back with a grin and said in his big voice, "Me!  and my fork did not work well!"  Oh that perspective he has on life will take him far.  He does not recognize his hands are a setting him back or causing him to be clumsy.  James just goes without complaining and Goes BIG!   Everything James does is BIG!  His VOICE is BIG, actually we find it a bit LOUD!  His actions are BIG!  But his smiles are also very BIG, his enthusiasm is BIG and his fight for LOVE is BIG! His heart is BIG!  He never gave up the HOPE of being loved by
