Parent's Speak

I just got through reading "Right from the start" which is a book on ABA stuff for Autistic kids. At the end of every chapter, there is a section entitled "Parent's Speak". Some of them were the typical "rah-rah" type things, but this one, the first one at the end of the second to last chapter REALLY spoke to me:

I, too, hope to some day dance with either or both of my son's at their weddings. I, too, have had a hole ripped into my heart from this, from watching them struggle everyday. I, too, love them just the way they are, but hurt for them in the trials they have ahead. I, too, hope to one day know what is going on in their smart little minds.

That's my excerpt for today. Be glad you got one at all, and be glad someone Else's words were my inspiration. I have not found many of my own of late.
