A dear friend once said that there are angels among us everywhere. For me those angels work at Spruce Street and the ARC Day Program in Norwood.

Last year I made the difficult decision to place my son in a residential home and I certainly hit the jackpot with the folks from these places. For obvious reasons we are unable to visit him during this time which has been very difficult.

However, they have kept in contact sending pictures, cards, and facetime calls. Many would think these are simple gestures but they mean the world to us.

I want to give a big shout out to all the individuals that help with my son, Nicholas. You are a very special group of people and should be recognized for your hard work, dedication, love and understanding.

I will always be indebted to all of you.
