Pam, keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers daily.
I hope you don't mind me bragging on you now. For those of you who don't already know this. Pam is an Angel. We have never met in person, and live states apart. She has spent hours of her precious time re-constructing a pair of jeans for my DH. There are no words to express my gratitude and his joy at having something he can not only put on by himself, but looks like normal jeans. Prior to her efforts, he was restricted to wearing jogging pants everywhere he went or wearing very depressing looking adaptive clothing that is very limited in style. Her efforts put a smile on his face and he no longer has to leave the house feeling bad about himself and how he had to dress. A day will never pass that you and your family are not in our thoughts and prayers. Bless you and your family. I hope your step dad gets better soon. I don't know your Mom but please hug her for me.
