Wow! You two haven't left much to be added. Let me echo your feelings and also mention the phenomenal growth that my 16-year-old stepdaughter has shown in the last several months. When we finally won custody of her two years ago, she was angry at herself and the world and was not capable of thinking even 5 minutes beyond the present. She is turning into the kind of caring, considerate human being we knew she was capable of becoming. She isn't completely there yet, but we are certain she will. We are grateful for the small victories, and settle for surviving the rest. I hope everyone will join me in cheering Emily's progress.
