Beautifully written Lyle. I wrote this morning in my Morning Pages about the day of Emily's birth. Em is doing amazing and I am so grateful she is learning to communicate more. I am looking forward to giving you all a big hug and kiss tomorrow! Love and hugs, Mom
This is heart wrenching to read, and as a dad, I’m sure each moment is worth treasuring for infinity. Thank you for penning down these words. God bless your daughter!
Lovely, Lyle. I can’t imagine how wonderful it is to be finding ways to communicate even more with Em, and her to be able to show more of what’s inside.
Aw wow. Thank you for bringing us into your family and Em’s delightful world. I love how she focuses on exactly what she wants. Happy birthday, Emily! 💛
I have been keeping a journal of many of her messages, some of my favorites:
1. I don't like this --> boring --> I want --> music (when daddy put her on the potty)
2. Something is wrong --> grumpy (to her teacher when she arrived at school one day)
3. I don't like this --> noisy (when sister and her friends were playing music too loud)
Love you so much sweet girl, happy 7th birthday!

I love these birthday letters SO much, Lyle! I’m so excited for you guys now that you’re communicating with the PODD book!!
"By her side forever." And always her biggest fan. Happy birthday, Em. A lot to celebrate!
Precious moments of clarity and communication! Lessons for all of us in that, courtesy of brilliant Emily.
Happy Birthday, sweet Emily! What a lovely reflection.
…y’all are amazing…she is amazing…
Happy birthday, Em!
