My son is amazing because ............
- he never gives up trying
- he touches the hearts and souls of total strangers
- his smile can fill a room
- he is the loudest non verbal person I know
- he still loves going to school even though he is doing things he was doing 12 years ago
- he smiles during blood tests
- he can work the TV and iPad but struggles to find two matching shoes
- he never forgets a face, no matter how many years have passed
- he shows compassion for everyone
- he tells me that he loves me even though he can't say the words
- he finds joy in the simplest of things and then shares that joy
- he can sing even though he can't talk
- he is my son
- he never gives up trying
- he touches the hearts and souls of total strangers
- his smile can fill a room
- he is the loudest non verbal person I know

Beautiful, Jane. So many of those things apply to Paul, too. I'll list mine tomorrow xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, i just wanted to write also to say that i could've written much the same list about my son. I especially liked the "loudest non-verbal" comment. My son, even though he's Deaf, is the loudest person i know.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing boys we have in our lives.
Hi Sarah, I find the noise factor amazing. I find it amazing that I spend most of my day asking Cameron to be softer. They are amazing.
ReplyDeleteSharon - love your list.
Hi Jane -
ReplyDeleteI just recently came across your blog and I just wanted to say thank you. I have an older brother with down's syndrome and I know how hard my parent's worked to raise him, support him, and stand up for him, all while raising 2 other children. I love that you share your ups and downs with the world and let everyone see how special children/adults with special needs really are.

I think being able to work the TV and the Ipad but not finding matching shoes is probably a teenage trait, completely normal :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Adrienne. It sounds like you might have an understanding of what My Little Angel goes through. I think being a sibling of a special needs child is difficult and very different.
ReplyDeleteYou might be right Lee.
