This blog was created as a celebration of Joshua boy’s huge heart and life and the daily adventures and blessings of raising a child with autism and epilepsy. And to give encouragement and hope for parents who are raising a child with special needs. I love you forever my Joshua boy! (Joshua Michael Eisenstat --- January 26, 1983 - October 4, 2005)

The Computer Piggy Bank!
I ran into Sue and Gerald Bringhurst at a wedding reception a few days ago. They are wonderful neighbors and friends of mine when we lived in Pleasant Grove. It is always so fun to re-connect and remember good times with cherished friends! We had a good laugh remembering Joshua's own hidden piggy bank!
One of Joshua's favorite things was to play "Wheel of Fortune" on his own computer. He loved calling out the letters, finding the letters on the keyboard and cheering with Pat and Vanna as the players won some money! He especially loved it when one player said hi to "Joshua" even though it wasn't meant for him!
Anyway, periodically the computer would stop working. Gerald was so kind as to donate some time to repair Joshua's computer when needed. So as he dug into Joshua's computer to find the problem, he was super excited to tell us the problem!
Joshua had been using the small opening where the floppy disk went, to insert pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters!! And he had inserted quite a stash!! So Gerald emptied the computer of its latest windfall, and the beloved computer was back in action!! But of course, it didn't take long to realize that another windfall of money was inside, and Gerald would be called back into action.
Thanks Gerald -- you saved many days!!
