In my house..it is not about pulling metals, fixing
GF /CF food, crushing supplements or bashing my husband. In my house, it is about raising children to be loving and caring.
I asked our daughter Deirdre, who has
Asperger's, to please take up Caitlin's dinner. She likes to eat in her room...so, I let her. I said to Deirdre, "when you give her her food, tell her you love her (because that is what I do)..."
Of course, Deirdre says "NO".
I said, "
C'Mon"...Deirdre agreed...reluctantly...
Deirdre came downstairs with a huge grin on her face...
I asked her if she said I love You....Deirdre said, "I said Love Ya"...
I asked Deirdre what Caitlin said....
Deirdre said, "She said "I love you" back"...
I asked Deirdre if that made her happy....
Deirdre, in all of her wisdom said, "That is why I am smiling"....
Of course..I start crying !!!!
I have had a crappy day...fought with the bank, fought with cable, had to get
Kiernan's Vanguard system back on track, needed to go to the post office (couldn't), fighting a really
shitty sore mouth, having my provider not show up, but...in the end...
this is what my life is all about....
About being able to raise Autistic children to be loving and caring...
God has given me quite a lot. Sometimes I wonder why he chose me...
This last week, reading the whiny crap on other blogs and on
AoA, I now
know why....
I hope you can figure out why soon !!!
