Let Them Look

Whether he fully understands is immaterial. This is about family.

It’s parenthood. If you have a kid, you do it.

I’m not letting him sludge his way through life. My boy looks good. I make sure of it.

We may struggle to help our children, but we never struggle to love them

The kids are tired, the air is cold, and we’re way too far away from our starting point.

I knew nothing about autism and nothing about being non-verbal. Hell, I knew nothing about having a son.

Without them, I would wallow in my own mind during times when my own mind is the most dangerous place to wallow in.

What came next could have destroyed me, if I let it.

It’s not about words. It’s about communicating.

No blankies in sight. That’s when he goes on the hunt like Elmer Fudd at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
