While I recognize that this blog is primarily the work of my beloved bride, occasionally I have something to add as well.
SPD and other autism spectrum disorders oftentimes don't let appropriate emotions to be showed at the appropriate times. Affectionate touch is also a challenge. So that's what makes this one event, normal for some, so special.
I was laying on the couch because I've been under the weather again. Lars walked up unprompted and laid across my chest. Through a grin he said, "I love you daddy." And after a few more seconds, got up and was off doing Lars things again.
When in the midst of wondering how much more one can bear; how one can bear it for extended periods of time; when the days of struggle far outnumber the days of good; one short sentence is one tool in which God shows you that He never gives you more than you can bear.
