Thanks to Family and Kindness
Today I’m thankful for two things, my family and the kindness of others:
For my family. My husband Alan is the greatest, doing whatever he can to help out. Like Atticus Finch, Alan is a man of honor who always tries to do the right thing, whether at home or at work.
I miss my oldest son, Robert, who is living on his own now, far away. Robert has a huge heart (which gets him hurt sometimes), and a quick wit that can make me burst out laughing. Once he finds his way in life I have no doubt he, too, will be a man of honor, honesty and integrity, following in his dad’s and grandfathers’ footsteps. I’m proud to know him, and thankful to be his mom.
I’m thankful for my autistic son, Lucas, without whom I wouldn’t have met the most amazing people in the world over the years. Lucas teaches me far more than I could ever teach him, about patience, about what’s really important in life, and about rejoicing in the little things.
For the kindness of people like Lori Simpson. LucasWorks was invited to sell our products at a large event in Virginia. I forgot my calculator and Lori was kind enough to lend me hers for the day. I’m thankful to Lori and everyone like her who offers help to others, be they friends or strangers. They make living in the world of autism so much nicer.
