Jared struggles with verbal communication...Jared struggles with social interaction...
put the two of those together, and....
Jared struggles with making friends.
He wants to have friends, who doesn't?
He just also wants to avoid as much social communication as possible.
That is way we are thankful for a young lady named Cait.
Cait is a senior at the same high school where Jared is a freshman.
And she is Jared's friend!
She has chosen to be his friend and understands that it is tough for him to reciprocate like a "typical" friend does.
She eats lunch with Jared, exchanges texts with him, and takes his picture with her and puts it on facebook!
She is his friend!
She will probably never know what an incredible gift she has given Jared and his family, because that is not her reason for being Jared's friend.
She enjoys being around him and talking with him. She chooses to be his friend!
Tonight I celebrate!
