Days Like Today

Spirit you need to know that your mom is a saint. She's a saint because of days like today. In order to explain it to you I need to start with the picture below.


Ya see Mom's job today was to cross this river (metaphorically speaking). The river is you, Mom had some things to do with you today, that represents crossing the river. What she realized very early in the day was that this river wasn't as calm as it looked. There was a school of piranhas lurking underneath these calm waters, ready to devour anything or anyone that dared attempt to cross it. 

Autism does that sometimes. It sneaks up on both you and your mother. You react in ways she can't predict, and you can't control. It's taxing for both of you. So when you read this and you understand what it was like for her today, give her a hug and tell her you love her. 

Sometimes she even waded into the water and got attacked, but give her some credit she got across the river. Even with all of those piranhas lurking. Part of the calling of being your mom, and she doesn't flinch a bit. 

So give it up to the two superheroes in our home. You, for fighting off your autism, and your mom for making you her priority...always.

That's why she's our Heart.
