Our pearl
Today begins Autism Awareness Month and it is always a time of reflection for our family. When I think about the many obstacles our family navigated and the beauty we now experience, I am reminded of the process of how a pearl emerges. If you have never seen a video – it is well worth it. In essence the pearl is a product of painful process. It begins as an irritant that makes its way into a forum body- an oyster – the oyster now reacts to until the pearl arises.
Sometimes I think of our journey that way. Not our loved one – but the incredible challenges she faced and a result we faced as a family.
Although we are very much in the midst of the journey we have a PEARL- our PEARL is a beautiful reflection of life. Her individuality exudes pure love.
I came across this TED talk that expresses our collective sentiment
