You're becoming quite the jet setter! Perhaps you should consider getting a pilots license, it would certainly cut down on the travel costs :) Celeste and I are always interested to hear about your ongoing adventures, and we look forward to reading Ilia's letter. Please give her a big kiss from us! Adam & Celeste Cole,

My little guy,4, also has cerebral palsy. He had the same surgery from Dr. Nuzzo in May. You are soooo lucky to have Ilia to help you through all of your therapies and Dr.'s appointments. Sounds like you are a pretty brave guy! I always pray that my Trevor will walk and run and jump and play...and now I will pray for you, too! Cole,

And nice to see Ilia made himself right at home in typical Lab fashion...haha. I just posted this on Lance Weir's wall over on Facebook, and he asked me if the conversion part was done at Aero Mobility, since that's where his latest one was done. I've been following the story, but couldn't tell if that's where the Honda dealer took it. Take care, Al Cole -

So impressed, I wrote one of my first blog posts on "My Life as a Child". Well, sensei Rich saw the post and wrote me. I am so happy to hear how you are doing these days. We need more blogs like yours to show people that it is possible to live a full life despite having a disability. Feel free to take at look at my website as well. Maybe we can talk sometime. Keep in touch, Debbie Hello Cole,

You story about getting stuck in the elevator was halarious! Do you remember the little boxer puppy, the one that was only 1 month old? We tried really hard to adopt him but he was not going to be available by the time we left. Too bad, it would have been the perfect addition to our family. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the rest of your trip. Give Ilia a big hug from the both of us. Adam and Celeste.
