MY SUNDAY 160
Is silence truly golden?
My son, my greatest worry in life.
He speaks to just 3 people in the world.
Life is passing him by.

Selective mutism is a cruel burden.

  2. My son is my greatest worry, too. Not that he is in any way mute, but that I can't get him to take certain things seriously.

  3. it's sad - and yet, what can we do? except silently love them...

    loved the 160 for its expressiveness - thank you!
