So I recently posted that Briana, Jonah’s wonderful house manager, won the Anderson Center for Autism’s Above and Beyond award this year, after being nominated by yours truly and two other parents as well. They cancelled the live event because of Covid concerns, but yesterday Briana texted me to say they finally sent her my speech, which I had recorded via Zoom. I’m happy to share it with you all:
I had to sit and rehearse the speech over and over until I could get through it without “ugly crying.” I could have gone on and on about Briana – but am so grateful to her for everything she’s done and everything she is. Jonah is so blessed and lucky to have her!
