Steven was just 13 when I had the privilege to get to know him. As his caregiver,he brought so much joy just being around him. I taught myself how to communicate with him by his body language,I remember having him stand on my feet as we would sway back and forth, and he would just laugh. Then I noticed a hand gesture he made and I started doing the same,it then when I know I was speaking his language. Steven was not only SPECIAL to me,but my family ad well. I'm saddened by his passing,but I know he is in a much better place.....my condolences go out to his family. O saying for comfort.
