“I believe with all my heart that you were sent to speak directly to me. After hearing your story that afternoon, I decided to leap. I have a real sense of purpose now and truly believe that I am where I belong. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for inspiring me. I am proof that at 51, and five years out of a divorce, you can finally put yourself first, stop doing what everyone else told you to do all your life, take wing, and fly. Life is too short - carpe diem!” Cathi Wilson

"I personally applaud you and am thankful that you are willing to subject yourself to the potential negative, in order to partner with us all, individuals with diverse backgrounds and personal narratives and possessing different political ideologies, to strengthen our democratic ideals and support their fulfillment in everyday practice. As we all are aware, even though when it was written, We the People was exclusionary, it is no longer. So today, it is our shared responsibility as Americans to ensure that those words are now inclusive. This requires an understanding of history and context, as well as encouraging compassion and forgiveness. Continuous civil discourse is the key, I believe. Thank you both for all you do."

"I wanted to express my gratitude for your courage in writing about your personal growth and experiences in raising a son with learning disabilities. As I read about your journey, I thought of my own as a person with dyslexia and ADD. Anyways, I just wanted to say "thanks" for your thoughtful writing and to reinforce your perspective that your son has a bright future in academics or whatever he chooses. The battle to secure reasonable accommodations can be exhausting but is clearly essential to the success of students with disabilities.
Best,"
Melissa B.

"Thank you for writing such a beautiful, inspiring essay about your son and how you came to understand how best to help him. There are a lot of Louies out there -- wonderful human beings with gifts to share with all of us if we will just listen and learn. You found a treasure in John Ribble, and it was wonderful to hear your praise of him. I think there are a lot of Mr. Ribbles out there, too. Thanks for opening readers' eyes to the possibilities that exist for our young people when great parents and great teachers work together. Your essay was a sheer delight. Best wishes to you and Louie."
