[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 425619, member: 1991"] It took me only to my FB page too. But it's OK - I'd already seen the fabulous photo and commented. She is gorgeous! I was thinking - your concerns about Jumper's prospects remind me about one of my sisters who struggled at school. J was brain damaged by encephalitis at age 5, and from there had major memory problems and processing issues. She left school as soon as she was old enough to, got a very menial, simple job and over the years, slowly grew in confidence and capabilities, creeping up in standards almost imperceptibly. When she was about 25 she was managing the office for her boss. By 35 she had her own business. She did an accountancy course after she turned 50 - someone who could not even add two single digit numbers at 15. And more important than this - she has been a wonderful mother to her children, a loving person, and is now a fabulous and much-loved grandma. She is also a loving and caring sister, especially to her twin. So whatever is best for Jumper from here, help her embrace it wholeheartedly. If she has ambitions for more - then help her find ways towards those goals too. She may take longer to get there, but there is always hope. Marg [/QUOTE]
