Be an Oyster for Autism!

Wow.  Before Quinn, I didn't know if there was anything beyond my physical form.  Now I am sure of it.  Quinn opened my eyes to a whole other world.  He was my first child, and maybe it would have happened this way for any first child, but Quinn was indeed special.  It was as if I could see my connection to the Universe through him.  No really. I never felt the spiritual connection before Quinn..  This tiny creature was port hole to Spirit.  It would never matter to me how different he was.  Love goes beyond all physical realities. And after I made the decision to let everything be OK, I'm so much more at peace.  I used to wish for his recovery, and now I wish only for his happiness. And I believe that in return,  I am blessed with a light-hearted spirit who, yes, can get plenty upset, but is easily re-directed with a tickle or a "i'm gonna eat you up!" snuggle.... a little lovin' with this Hand Flappin' Happy Man goes a long way. When I think of how much I love this kid, I could just burst...

today quinn put on his swimsuit early in the morning and sat at the computer to look at pictures of himself on the beach. "mom beach!!"  yes little man, i know, i love the beach too....

my little man is now 14 and is getting HUGE pimples...  i guess the blessing is that he couldn't care less. doesn't give it any attention unless mom is coming at him with her thumbs out :) don't worry~ it doesn't happen unless he really needs surgery.
