My Life With Lee

By Dabney Elizabeth Farmer

Book Overview

I look at Dabney's amazing book as an abbreviated version of the first 15 years of Lee's life. She has volumes of stories to tell and 100s of cartoons. Sifting through all her work was difficult to choose which picture and story was more important than another. As Dabney's parents, Jimmy and I have mourned the fact Dabney never had a normal childhood. I guess we did something right. She never thought her life was different than others and made the best with what she had. Lee thrived at Benedictine for seven wonderful years. They gave him support educationally as well as teaching him life skills. The school got us through the rocky years of adolescence. We learned he could survive in a residential placement and we could grow as a family. Funding was provided up to his 22nd birthday. After graduation Lee returned home. Lutheran Family Services is helping us now. We technically are running a group home for one in our own home. Lee is our only client. This is just the beginning for Dabney's creative writing. I'm looking forward to the next edition. Of course, I'm her "number one" biggest fan. Love always, Mom
