Forever, If I Have To

Forever. No thought. Not even a question. All real parents would say the same.

The best part of Ball-O is the story of how we got him…

I pictured Ashton Kutcher running into her room and yelling, “We got you, Daddy! Ha! Your friend, God, set you up!”

My non-verbal son’s skill set stretches far beyond what any one person sees. It’s my job, as his advocate, to accept that.

My non-verbal boy can sling snark with the best of them. He just expresses it in more creative ways.

A voice in my head whispered, “Why did you do that? What do you know about babies?”

It’s like living in an Adam Sandler movie.
