Happy Easter

 The end of Holy Week culminates on Easter Sunday.  We celebrate the Risen Christ.  Lots of prayer.  Lots of forgiveness.  Lots of patience.

After Mass, we spent the morning at home, nothing doing but relaxing.  Mike spend time with the boys.  Then we went to my parents’ home.  We spent the afternoon with family.  Saw extended family too.  Two new baby boys, my grand nephews.  My sons, particularly Ryan, enjoyed the babies.  The boys wasted no time finding the table full of foods too.

It is really enjoyable going to family events, celebrating holidays, birthdays, etc.  It’s taken many years to get to this point.  Everyone knows the dietary restrictions of the boys.  My boys don’t have major sensory issues that require close supervision.

We all go through major transformations.  Whether it’s spiritual, mental, emotional, we grow.  I hope change brings us all to be more compassionate to each other.

Prayer, forgiveness, and patience describe a lot of my time, past and present, dealing with autism and related issues.   Today brings to focus what really matters, the reality of our lives, and our purpose on Earth.

God bless!  Happy Easter!

I am: a) happily married for over 27 years; b) mom to five boys, three diagnosed with autism; c) a home schooling mom; and d) self-employed as a piano teacher. There is no trace of autism on my side or my husband's side of the family tree. Until nine years ago, my youngest four all had disabilities, the youngest three with autism. Five years ago my youngest did not "qualify" for the autism label, rendering him "recovered". My second oldest also "tested" out of his speech delay. My husband and I attribute these successes to the care of many family members and therapists, change in diets, not following mainstream medicine yet listening to medical advice, doing our own research, and most importantly, lots of prayer.
