"Dad gum you stupid dyslexia! I am mad at you! Mad! Mad! Mad! I am mad at the power and strangling hold you have over my little boy. You don't deserve him! He is too good for you. I am mad at the dreams you have stolen from him. The dreams, and the lessons, and the mental vacations, and the different lives, and the knowledge, and the joy, and the love, and the education you get from reading books. You have stolen that from him and I don't know yet if he can take it back from you! Now that you are the newly discovered companion of my son, I know there may be a day when I will thank you for the things you have taught him, for the strength of character you have forced upon him. But for today, I hate you! And for tomorrow too. And for probably this whole year. Dad gum you stupid Dyslexia!"
That is what I would say...only I wouldn't say dad gum you. It would be something else.

I am sorry about stupid dad gum dyslexia hanging around your house. Doesn't it know it isn't invited? Stupid dyslexia. It is going to be okay. Why? Because just cause you have dyslexia doesn't mean you can't have dreams and hopes and joy. And you if anybody are one great mama who makes sure it happens. You know who has dyslexia? Jay Leno. I am pretty sure he is successful, ha ha. But your sonnie pie has the advantage, as it is YOU and COREY who will be guiding him. It is hard every day. It will be hard, but dang, what a magnificent spirit it will sculpt him into! MAGNIFICENT! There is a reason for everything and the Lord is in control. He knows exactly what he is doing to allow him to have it, and whatever it is it is for his good and most definitely those around him also. He might not find joy in books right NOW, but there are books on cd these days ha ha. And as for lessons, I guarantee he will get them, just in a different way perhaps. He is a strong, strong boy. You are the perfect mom for him. He'd be somewhere else if you weren't. You will give him everything he needs for happiness just by being you. He'd be somewhere else if you wouldn't. It is all under control and you are in the view of the Lord. You are absolutely not alone. I love you so much! It is gonna be a GREAT life for him. He has so much potential. He is in a wonderful position in a great land. Any idea he has he can make it come to pass. Think books on cd. :)
You can do it! Rah rah rah!!!!
What do Tommy Hilfiger, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Pierre Curie, George Patton and Rhett Nielsen have in common? ;). I know this is old, but I just barely saw it. He can have dreams with dyslexia. I agree that you are the perfect mom for him. You are creative and ingenius. I think Katie Boo hit pretty much everything right on the head. :)
