I'm very proud...
Today was a very exciting day for me. I was at work out in the field training with my section on my howitzer when Renae called a few times. I called her back and you could tell she was very stressed and angry. Faith had an appointment today at 1230 to take some tests at her school for her IEP assessment. These had been planned for almost a month. Well last night she mentioned she was nervous. When I got on the phone with Renae I could hear Faith in the background screaming and crying. She was not feeling good and could not go up to the school. Well I could not come home and help Renae out. Episodes like this over the past couple of years have really taken their toll on Renae. I just told her to do her best and worst case scenerio get Faith into the car and drive to the school and say she cannot get her out of the car. This will help to have them witness this. Well I don't know how they did it, but Faith went up there and actually took a couple of tests. I was so proud of her to be able to work through this overwhelming fear and make it up there. People who do not get to witness these kinds of episodes can never understand them. Heck I have witnessed hundreds of them and can't figure it out. It sucks and they really take their toll on Renae. She was so brave and I was so proud. Check out this link to a page on Faith's Story Facebook page for donations. http://goo.gl/3Jz64 Kris
