The Perfect Post Awards were created by Suburban Turmoil and Petroville. I read many of the “perfect posts” each month and think, wow, what a great idea. Then last week I read a post that made me cry and laugh and touched me deeply and I thought it deserved this award.

So my November Perfect Post Award goes to LagLiv for her post entitled “Of Friends and Family.” For those who haven’t read her blog, LagLiv is a 3L with a five-month old who had some medical problems early on. She knew something was wrong and kept trying to get him help but no one would listen. When someone finally did take her seriously, it turned out that something was seriously wrong and, although the problems probably started at birth or very early on, she and her husband were accused of child abuse. Their infant son was taken away and has now been returned, but they have to live with a monitor 24/7 pending the outcome of the case.

During this enormously stressful time, she has managed to keep a level head and to put her child’s needs first above everything else. She’s had to put up with rudeness and confounded decision-making and through it all she has maintained perspective, continued to attend at least some of her classes and is now about to take exams. When I read this post, I was so impressed with how she’s handling this ordeal and I wanted to share it with all of you.
