I don’t want to live my life angry and, just because I have kids, it doesn’t mean I have to.
Yeah. He’s not gonna look. You can just take it.
My son with Autism turned Raffi from singer to icon in our house.
You never realize how much of your life isn’t kid friendly until you find yourself tasked with being friendly to kids.
The scariest part was never about what he would or wouldn’t do.
One day, maybe he’ll be able to tell me, “Yo. Put me down.”
We’re not supposed to talk about these moments. We’re supposed to pretend they don’t happen and hide them behind our shiny social media accounts.
Forever. No thought. Not even a question. All real parents would say the same.
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.
