 They once told me that you would never walk, that you would never talk, that you would never live in the world that I am in. That we would never share a joke or a laugh, a kind smile and the understandings of love. They said that you had a disability and the called it autism. I did not give up not one single moment of one single day. I knew that we had to fight this thing they called autism from taking you away. We did everything that we could and slowly you came out of your shell now you are walking, you are talking, you live in my world as I do in yours. We share jokes, we share laughs, we share smiles and happy times and bad. My little boy you have grown so much. At 7 years old you make sure that everyone around you smiles. You simply walk up to people and say smile. You understand love you understand happiness and you understand sadness. When I cry you bring a tissue to wipe away my tears. You tell me that it will all be okay. You love to meet new people and you try to help all of your friends get threw what ever it is that is bothering them. Now I realize that God has given me a gift having an autistic child. He has taught me the powers of watching someone so special grow. Keep being who you are baby and I will believe in you all of the way. Lorilee Harms |
