A Love For Writing: Part 1
A Love For Writing: Part 1

I worked with a family once whose daughter, let’s call her Lily, I’d been told, had extremely limited expressive language. She spoke very little. This beautiful, quiet, pre-teen girl, with her great big smile seemed to have a lot of words, but didn’t speak. I remember her mom coming in one day and handing me a letter. It was the sweetest thing. About a page and a half in length
