Ed. note: Andrew enjoys writing ridiculously cute emails to friends.  Typically, they are about food.  Sometimes, they involve places.  This one involves his favorite bear, Carol.  He doesn't seem to believe the "real story" I bought her at Filene's @ the Burlington Mall right after Christmas 2004 for the low price of $5.99.  In Andrew-world, she's a 63 year old "special education advocate-helper" who works for/with me.  It's silly and goofy, as Andrew's play skills fall many younger below his chronological age.   But, man, does this make me smile.  He is thriving, and feels happy and feels safe here.  That is worth all the challenges. 

I love you, Andrew!
