I am so proud of you

You are laying here beside me drinking your chocolate milk. 

And you just dropped some in your eyes...

And you just said "ow, eyes" and looked at me waiting for a kiss... 

 You are different my boy.

And I don't want to lie to you about that.

You have Autism. You work so hard to communicate. You are weird. And I love it. 

You have come so far. So very far from where you were when you were diagnosed.

Full sentences, spontaneous talking, big smiles with perfect eye contact, empathy and grace. You who have come so far will make an amazing man one day. 

We, as a family hold many core beliefs.

-God is real, and we live our lives for him. 

-we can get through anything together

-love is not needing to hear "I'm sorry" to forgive 

-autism isn't a problem, it isn't a mistake, it's beautiful, and how God made you. 

Well to name a few of them. 

I am so proud to be your Moma. 

You have come so far. And I can't wait to see how far you will go.
