Thanks, everyone, for your responses.
Michele - you hit the meaning of those two stars right on the head. The star behind Andrew is Tammy, his OT, and the smaller ones are friends and family, which is so appropriate since most of my friends live out of state, and my family is 10,000 miles away.
This has been an incredibly tough journey, especially when we all stopped trusting teachers (long story) and Andrew had to tackle self-esteem issues for a while. To this day I can't be impressed with a teacher's qualifications until she/he proves to have a big heart to match her/his supposedly big brain.
As you can see, there's still a lot of bitterness there.
Which is why this gift blew me away. There was so much love and attention put in it, every detail made signficant to my child.
Thanks again, Pennie.
