Give a Hug
|
Freckles thank you for the hug. Today is a much better day. Autism has positively affected my life in many ways already and I've only been in this world for about 2 months. But I used to be the type of super busy, task oriented person always trying to get things done in a timely matter (I'm a ICU nurse, what can I say?). I often used to put my son in the living room, and play for a few minutes and he was so good at keeping himself entertained (before the bomb hit) that I used to spend quite a bit of time cleaning the house, cooking, paying bills, organizing etc... In just two months I have spent more time with my son, really playing with toys, becoming keenly aware of what bothers him and what makes him laugh, tick, think... I feel so much closer to him. I never used to pay such close attention to anything I was so busy getting things done in my life. Well my house is a disaster, I forget to pay the bills on time sometimes, there are always dishes in the sink, but Never does a day go by when I don't play, roll around on the floor, tickle, use my mind to come up with new ways to engage him. I think I'm becoming a better person and more importantly, a better mom... Thanks for the thoughtful opportunity to reflect on the positive. Its hard to do sometimes. |
