I do some sign language. I do it when I am in bed. I can’t use my computer then. When I want something, I start out by grunting to get my caregiver’s attention. They say “What do you want?” to get the guessing process going. I try to look at what I want if I…

Every September me and my Dad have time together. My Mom and a bunch of her girl relatives go to her cousin’s cabin in Perham, Minnesota for 2 nights. Me and my Dad watch Blue Collar Comedy movies normally. This year we watched stuff on Youtube though. We stay up until 11:00 one of the…

For my 14th birthday, I went camping for 1 night with 1 of our friends, Mickey, and her family. My Mom and Dad were at the NASCAR races in Bristol.  I had fun on Friday night, sat around the fire, opened presents and listened to everybody crack jokes. On Saturday morning I didn’t have fun.…
