When I'm feeling particularly down about our situation, the autism that is, stories like this put things back in perspective for me.
Or when I watch commercials like the one below, I realize how truly blessed I am.
Because autism is not Tay-Sachs. It isn't cancer, either.
Minus a few social shortcomings, my little guy, for the most part, is thriving. And I don't, for one minute, take that for granted.
On the contrary, I am incredibly thankful, grateful my child doesn't live in pain. I'm beyond happy for his smile.

On that note, I think I'll kiss him a thousand times today...

He is adorable! It's so important to stay positive in life, especially where the kids are concerned. Hard some days, but important! On that note, I'm stopping by from the Happiness Is... blog hop :) Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteWow, great post with awesome perspective. I love how you keep your mind in the right place--I imagine it must not always be easy to do--but with a smile like that, who could blame you for happiness?
