What a great day we had today! It was the 9th Annual Autism Awareness walk here in Indianapolis. It was good to be with a huge group of people who live our life daily. It was good to be with a huge group of people who didn't need explanations of behaviors, that understood flapping arms and covered ears and never looked twice at a child throwing a fit that the parents can't control. It was good to be with others just like us!
My emotions are running high tonight. I think it's been an emotional day. I was so proud of my son. To see him walk the mile with Daddy and take steps that mean something to the cause of Autism Awareness. I know he doesn't understand what today was about but it made me proud nonetheless to see cross the finish line!
I'm a blessed woman tonight! God is always good to me, but today He gave me a glimpse of the bigger picture. I have always known we are not walking this journey alone...but today I saw it first hand! To all who love someone with Autism this day was for you!
