Olive Garden outing

Thurs., April 29
a planned outing for Ian. It was a great day. He got to see some people he had not seen in a long time and they all got to see Ian. He is doing so well and now everyone knows it. The folks at the Olive Garden were great. They seemed so happy to see him. There must have been more than 20 people there to say hi and then us of course. Ian, Mom, Dad, Jahleh, Ben, Aaron (the camera man) and Nick. O G treated us to dinner, Ian ate very well, with a little help from Jahleh, she is so good with him. Love is a wonderful and powerful thing.
Ian had so much joy in his eye and was so happy; he hugged everyone, it was great to be on an outing that was just for the sake of doing something fun.
The people at the Olive Garden thanked us for bringing him down to them, they really do love this guy, but he is pretty special guy. He has been thru so much and this was I am very sure good for his psyche. I know it was good for Ben as well, cause Ben wants so much for Ian to enjoy life again. I know Ian was a little scared but mostly excited about going.
and now it is done and we can plan the next outing, cause there really is so much living beyond the mountain, even though right now the mountain is safe.
