A lot of the fathers and mothers that have gone through the class have shared, you know, their little miracles that happen while the class is going on. For this mother, she did share also. She came back the next day and said, hey, I practiced communication with my kid and I said, hey, can we sit down and talk? And he was looking at me like something was weird. What do you mean, mom? She said, yes, I want to have a meal with you. Can we cook together? Can we do something together? Can we engage in something? What do you want to do? He's like, well, I would want you to watch me play basketball. That's what I would want you to do. So she said, okay, how about we prepare a meal together? We cook together, we have— we sit down and eat as a family because they don't usually do that, she said, because he's always out with the friends, right? And so, and I'll go watch your game. So he agreed to sit down and they cooked together, both of them. I'll tell you what, um, it was a blessing to meet her son about 3 weeks ago.
